One of the top leading causes of death in the world is suicide, health authorities say. It has even reached the top 20 causes of death for all ages among countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about one million people kill themselves each year. The manager of the Wales national team, Gary Speed is no stranger to it; he ended his life at age of 42. He was known as a great midfielder. Speed has never been tagged as someone who is depressed and has not even filed a Zoloft lawsuit on his life.
Hearing the news that Speed killed himself made a lot of people sigh in disbelief. He taking his life was the last thing on everybody’s mind. He is survived by his wife and two teenage sons. Most fans were at a loss. The life that Speed had led was a truly remarkable one. Hayden Evans, a talent agent and close friend of the family, said that Speed has never had any problems with depression. It was around seven in the morning when Louise, wife of Speed, found her husband dangling in their garage. She had also said nothing on why he committed suicide. The last show on which he was last seen in was in BBC1 Football Focus, which was taped just hours before he killed himself. The presenter on BBC1, Dan Walker, shared the information that Speed was nothing but that Wales played under him made them won four to one which affirmed his managerial skills.
The outpouring of tributes for Gary Speed has been increasing since his untimely death. Outside the house of Speed and the places where he used to play, tributes from mourning fans filled up space and piled up. The tributes that they brought were jerseys, scarves, flowers and photographs that they had of the late footballer. His death was asked to be spared from sensational press coverage.
