Suicide has always been one of the top leading causes of death in the world, health authorities say. In any given age, suicide is ranked in the upper 20 causes of death in all countries. 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. During his career, he had always played as a great midfielder. All his life, Speed was not known for being depressed and haven’t even filed a single 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 is survived by his wife and two teenage sons. Fans were left asking why. 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. She was also rendered clueless on the possible reasons of the suicide. It was on the BBC1 Football Focus show where the footballer was last seen. Dan Walker, a presenter on BBC1, has said that he was in his “bubbly” mood when he was at the studio.
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. They were also asking the press to stop sensationalizing his death as a gesture of respect to his family.
