One of the top leading causes of death in the world is suicide, health authorities say. 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. He was someone who had it good and was not thought to be depressed, he may not even have filed a Zoloft lawsuit.
Many people sighed in disbelief when they heard the news that Speed has killed himself. Taking his own life was totally out of character for him. He left a widow and two teenage sons to face questions about his death. Fans are still at a loss. Speed has lived a truly remarkable life. Issues with depression has never been present in his life, says Hayden Evans, his talent agent and close friend. At around 7:00 in the morning, the wife of Speed, Louise, found her husband hanging in their 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. His death was asked to be spared from sensational press coverage.
