that is the only thing that would make sense really

don't wanna offend anyone by being too specific but you can read between the lines and see what i mean right?
and conversely: it could be completely non sexually orientated at all. it could have been something that most of us would consider 'not enough to take your own life' but at the time, it WAS enough to push the guy to the limit. Old saying about walk a mile in a person's shoes and all that......

walk a mile in his shoes?

so i get to be a successful footballer, manager of wales national team, married to hot wife, 2 kids, wealthy, large house in country, lots of mates.....

sounds good to me


people jump to the conclusion "oh he must have been depressed" why?

I actually find your use of your big grin smiley given the subject matter, very distasteful to say the least - along with what you consider to have been a great life - it wasn't so great that he wanted to stay alive.

Most people who are in a sound, contented, happy state of mind, don't take their own lives.

I'm not jumping to any conclusions as to him being depressed.

It's this kind of thing, the 'rumoured' reporting that may (may?) appear in forthcoming days that would be completely out of order.

The man took his own life. I'd say he has suffered enough whatever the reason to do that, and certainly, his family will be suffering enough without his private life being dragged through the papers and them having to contend with that on top of such tragedy.

Yeah I know, and you'd think he must have known he was going to do it then as well :/ I can't comprehend how he must have been feeling

I think they mean it as a possible reason why he took his own life

It still a matter that I don't think should be plastered over the papers for the same reasons I mentioned earlier.

R.I.P Gary Speed,I definitely think something really bad must have happened in his last few hours to have made him commit suicide.

RIP Gary Speed, so young to go. He seemed such a nice guy, very professional and loved footie so much and of course loved his family more than anything else.

I cannot imagine what he felt and just hope more awareness about depression is available now after this..

Wow, I was a bit surprised seeing a post of Kerry's there for a sec.

It's strange/frightening how things change and time flies.

Not sure they ever gave a verdict, I think it was that he was going to hang himself but didn't, or something like that
