Health authorities say that suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the world. In any given age, suicide is ranked in the upper 20 causes of death in all countries. About one million people kill themselves every year, says the World Health Organization (WHO). The manager of the Wales national team, Gary Speed is no stranger to it; he ended his life at age of 42. He was famous for being a great midfielder. All his life, Speed was not known for being depressed and haven’t even filed a single Zoloft lawsuit.
Many people sighed in disbelief when they heard the news that Speed has killed himself. Nobody has expected him to take his own life. He left two teenage sons and his wife when he died. Fans were left asking why. The life that Speed had led was a truly remarkable one. His talent agent and close friend, Hayden Evans said that he never had any issues with depression. Louise, the wife of Speed, was first to find him hanging in the garage. She was also rendered clueless on the possible reasons of the suicide. The last appearance before his death was at a BBC1 Football Focus show on the eve of his death. Dan Walker, a presenter on BBC1, has said that he was in his “bubbly” mood when he was at the studio.
The untimely death of Gary Speed has caused an outpouring of tribute for the late footballer. Outside the house of Speed and the places where he used to play, tributes from mourning fans filled up space and piled up. Memorabilia, flowers, scarves and jerseys were the things that people were offering. They were also asking the press to stop sensationalizing his death as a gesture of respect to his family.
