Unfortunately suicide is all too common in relatively young men - a demographic that overlaps with sportsmen. Depression is an awful disease and can't be rationalised.

Echoing the thoughts already expressed here. I think Gary Speed was my first sporting hero, will always hold a speical place in my heart and Leeds in general.
Thoughts are with his family.

It really must be a terrible afliction.I was taken aback listening to people talking about how well he seemed on saturday morning.His family must be going through such a terrible time right now.Its not like some one has been diagnosed with a terminal illness .I am so sorry for his family and others who have similar tragedy's

Although it is the most rational explanation, it's important to note that nobody actually has any idea if it is depression that's driven him to this. That's just the assumption the majority have made.

It could be any number of things, but it's a tragedy nonetheless.

I just hope that he wasn't driven to it through the fear of threatened exposure by some sleazebag journalist seeking to drag another celebrity's name through the gutter.

Sadly the only person who can make sense of what has happened is no longer with us.
A lovely guy, great footballer and my heart goes out to his family and friends.
RIP Speedo

Sadly that is the rumour going around.

Horrible rumour going around at the moment involving duncan furgeson, hope its false.

Well done for spreading it.
