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. The number of people who kill themselves every year has reached a million, according to World Health Organization (WHO). At age of 42, Gary Speed, manager of the Wales national team, has called it quits. 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.
Many people sighed in disbelief when they heard the news that Speed has killed himself. He taking his life was the last thing on everybody’s mind. He is survived by his wife and two teenage sons. Fans were left asking why. The life that Speed had led was a truly remarkable one. Issues with depression has never been present in his life, says Hayden Evans, his talent agent and close friend. It was around seven in the morning when Louise, wife of Speed, found her husband dangling in their garage. She was also rendered clueless on the possible reasons of the 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 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.
