One of the top leading causes of death in the world is suicide, health authorities say. Among countries, it belongs to the upper 20 causes of death for all ages. The number of people who kill themselves every year has reached a million, according to 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 known as 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.
Hearing the news that Speed killed himself made a lot of people sigh in disbelief. Taking his own life was totally out of character for him. He left two teenage sons and his wife when he died. Fans are still at a loss. The life of Speed has left its mark on so many people. Hayden Evans, a talent agent and close friend of the family, said that Speed has never had any problems with depression. At around 7:00 in the morning, the wife of Speed, Louise, found her husband hanging in their garage. The reason behind the hanging of Speed was not shared to the public. The last appearance before his death was at a BBC1 Football Focus show on the eve of his death. 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 untimely death of Gary Speed has caused an outpouring of tribute for the late footballer. Mourning fans brought tributes outside Speed’s house and also the places where he used to play. Memorabilia, flowers, scarves and jerseys were the things that people were offering. His death was asked to be spared from sensational press coverage.
