Really does go to show that even if you have great wealth and a dream job depression can still get hold of u and take you down a dark lonely road where you see no other option.
Was only reading the other day about a pro ref in the german league who tried to commit suicide just before a game and the game was cancelled.......also the german international goalkeeper robert enke threw himself in front of a train with the same condition.

I do not know Gary Speed ,I have watched him play and give great entertainment and commitment to the game over many years,I have seen the respect he was given by his fellow professionals and I can imagine the sorrow and heart ache he has left behind him

For the above Thank you ,God Bless and rest in peace ,any negative or derogatory comments about the manor of his death at this time,are miss placed

His close family will be in so much sorrow now and that sorrow does not require compounding by such unforgivable ignorance

imho

quality , people who commit suicide are generally suffering from depression which is an illness that unfortunately gets overlooked. i know of a 13year old boy in particular who lived near me that commited suicide. i dont think he was a coward.

I do not follow football but It seems everyone else does. Death by suicide is a cowards way out
if natural causes then RIP if not then good ridden

bit harsh, you obviously have no problems in your life or never have. Sometimes people feel like they have no way out of serious problems that may be building up, hes no coward he obviously had serious problems that he couldnt cope with, its just a damn shame that a young guy with so much talent didnt feel like he could ask for help.

Every act has consequences and reasons
A 13 year old to take his own life is very sad as is anyone doing it if they are fit and well but they don't see the pain and suffering they leave behind so yes to me it is a cowards way out it's not brave to take your life it's brave to live a life

I worked for several years as a moderator on a number of depression help forums, unfortunately branding people that commit suicide as a coward is wrong. Mental illnesses have many stigma's attached to them, normally because unless you have gone through a simular illness its is very hard to truley understand it. Not every suicide is the same, not every cause or reason is the same so please dont judge everyone the same.

From my experience although a small number of people do commit suicide many many people every day want to but dont. These people are normally alone and affraid, affraid to even talk to there loved ones about how they feel and what they are thinking. Many of the stigmas associated with there problems only makes them less likely to seek help, and makes them worse. Most familys do not know there loved one has a problem untill its to late. lets not use a label for people in need of help and support but maybe show compassion and willing to understand what they are going through.

As grey has said its brave to live a life, many people who are suffering are brave every single day, many have to be brave every day for years, even there entire life. these people could never be a coward in my eyes.

Good post AW
It's not the ones that are sick I think are the cowards it's the ones who do it for selfish reasons to hurt other people

ive been in some deep dark places during my life but the thought of the effect that suicide would have on my childrens life was the one thing that kept me here
those children as well as loosing their father have been condemd to a lifetime worrying that at any minute they could do the same or that some how it was their fault
suicide merely passes the pain your feeling to those around you
there are people out there who can help ,there are medical solutions to most depression problems suicide is selfish, brave i admit, but ultimately selfish
rip gary speed no one youve left will
