Don't know any details - only just announced.

Terrible news. Thoughts with his family at a horrific time.

Oh Dear. He wasn't that old was he? Horrible news.

[Myles_91]

Only 42, they reckon it might have been suicide.

I feel sick

R.I.P

I really hope it wasn't suicide and I would also say that speculation about it is thoughtless - hard enough for his family as it is.

[Mike 93]

Reports stating he hung himself. RIP Gary Speed

[loz]

Sadly it appears it is no longer speculation

Poor bloke and family. RIP

[Seven Times]

For Christ sake, this really has come out of nowhere.

Most shocking death in a long, long time.


He was on Football Focus the other day.

Horrible news, still can't believe he's dead.

R.I.P. Gary.

Sad news

[geezer]

I was jaw-droppingly stunned when they announced this on the news and I am still totally stunned. Terrible news. RIP

[goose]

Very very sad. Thoughts with the family.

[Champagne Charlie]

I can't believe it.

RIP and condolences to the Speed family.

I just cannot believe this. I am shocked and saddened at the tragic passing of a player I always respected and rated very highly, and from whom I was anticipating a fine managerial career. I would never have guessed by his conduct and constant professionalism that he was in emotional torment. A dark day for British football.

RIP Gary Speed - you shall be truly missed.

It's a mad world, find it hard to believe

RIP Mate

Well said mate.

I've just been out talking to my next door neighbor about it, and we were both saying how decent, and
down to earth he always came across.

I feel devastated not only for him, but for his family.


Christ, and here we are worrying about a bit of bad form, puts it into perspective a bit.

Maybe suffering depression or something?

Awful news. Condolences to his family.

You never would have thought it though, seemed completely normal.


This has shocked me far more than someone like Michael Jackson dying.

[Spiller86]

You just never know do you? The secret curse that people carry with them, no matter what face they show to the outside world.

Must be a horrible place to be to prefer death. I feel truly sorry for his family and for him. The news of someone young passing away is always bad but it always seems worse when it is like this.
