Rumour has it he was in heavy financil debt as a result of gambling

How very tragic

RIP. What a shame. The Wales team seemed to love him and they were just beginning to do quite well.

Sad to see he couldn't work his problems out without resorting to this.

some things just can't be fathom'd, tragic. One of the pictures was taken only hours before, he looked full of life, tragic.

From #1 Rumour has it he was in heavy financial debt as a result of gambling

I've still not heard anything to the contrary.
