If he has committed suicide (not been confirmed that I can see) then I not only feel for his family who have to pick up the pieces but for the suffering he went through before making this tragic decision. I wouldn't condone a person for it as unless you have lived in their head and gone through what they go through you can not judge the decisions he made. Its a terrible shame that he didn't get the help he needed to avoid this.

RIP Gary Speed

But is that hope or is it fear? People often seem to want to hear the worst when its someone they dont know as its juicy and gives many hours of gossip.

Hardly. It'll be whatever the media wants us to know.

I dont think its very fair to criticise Gary Speed over taking his own life. Noone knows what goes on in another mans mind. Unfortunately people are too quick to make up their minds on what they believe happened.

Suicide isn't funny for those that are left behind, particularly when it's so fresh. And full disclosure, it's hard for me to be unbiased having had a family member take her life, so I couldn't sit by and watch some of the rather tasteless remarks I've seen being posted.

So fair dues, if you are going to joke ok, but at least wait for the dust to settle a little eh? ;)

Thanks
