Wales Football Manager Gary Speed Commits Suicide at 42

Gary Andrew Speed, the 42-year-old manager of the Wales national team and former Welsh football player (He was captain of the Wales national football team until he retired from international football in 2004 ), was this morning found hanged after an apparent suicide at his home in Cheshire. Police say there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.

Speed, born in Mancot, Flintshire, had appeared on BBC1's Football Focus show on Saturday afternoon, just hours before his death. He was a married father of two.

Seemed like a guy who had everything going for him, why would he kill himself? But like William Shakespeare wrote - there's no art to find the mind's construction in the face. May his soul RIP!
