That is shocking. Don't know what to say. 42, and with family too.

[Jack B]

Wow that's crazy..

Suicide? I really didn't see that one coming...

What a shock. He seemed to have so much to be happy about :(.

So sad, watched the interview with fellow wales team mate robbie savage, pretty emotional, from about 1 min.

It says he was found in his home. I hope his children were spared seeing that. :(

We're all in a state of shock here. I think everyone sighed a collective `wtf?` yesterday :eek:

There's something not quite right about all this.
True, none of us here really knows what happened or why, but the the words 'autoerotic' and 'asphyxiation' crossed my mind when I heard about this.
Either that, or some other piece of shit was about to hit the fan.

I hope not, for his family's sake, but...
