R.I.P

 

[Azazello]

A model pro; sympathies to his family. Deeply shocking.

 

[Hot-Spur]

What awful news, I thought when I heard it was going to be a car accident or something, shocked that its suicide.

 

[GoldstarYid]

R.I.P far too young.

 

[tototoner]

Hanged! Can't be right, surely.
Thoughts go out to his family.

Tony Evans is The Times Football Editor, he wouldn't have just said that without information

Rip

 

[Dougal]

Independent reporting suicide too :-(

 

[Manwhore]

So so sad

Absolutely shocked by this.

Tried to find more on the internet as sky aren't saying anything.

Although i did find a website that did mention substance abuse.

Still can't get over this.

RIP gary.

[Banny]

R.I.P :-( Shocking news. My thoughts are with his family. Model Pro. Guess no one will know what kind of demons he was battling with if reports are true.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Aw feck. I lost two cousins to the rope.

Damn.

 

[millhouse]

Shocking awful news

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Only 42 and this is really shockingly sad.

What made him take his own life? I expect we'll find out more in due course.

RIP - thoughts go out to his family and close friends.

 

[Dr Know]

I really can't believe this

 

[don1]

[Spursbabe63]

I'm shocked to hear this - very very sad, and thoughts go to his family at this time :-(

 

[aws_young]
