Default Gary Speed Found Hanged

For you football fans out there.

Quote:
Wales football manager Gary Speed has died at the age of 42.

The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has told the BBC it appears Speed, the national manager for nearly a year, killed himself.
Cheshire Police confirmed he was found dead on 07:08 GMT at his home in Huntington, Chester. They said there were no suspicious circumstances.


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

How very tragic

RIP GARY

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

Gary Speed: Friends' shock over Wales manager's death

Quote:
Friends and colleagues of Gary Speed say they cannot understand the events leading to the Wales manager's death.
Tributes are pouring in after the 42-year-old was found dead at his home in Chester on Sunday morning. It is understood he was found hanged.
Wales assistant manager Raymond Verheijen said: "If you knew him as a person then it is totally the opposite of what happened yesterday."

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

A pretty good article with his last public photo and a few from the clubs he played for such as Leeds, Everton and Newcastle:

I've still not heard anything to the contrary.
