R.I.P.

Terrible news.

 

[Kushal]

Very very tragic

R.I.P Gary

 

[NEVILLEB]

So sad.

 

[Legacy]

Sorry, but there's no excuse for taking your own life like that. When I heard he had died, I was genuinely saddened. But now that I know he did it himself, I have no sympathy for him.

My thoughts and sympathies go out to his family that now have to live with the fact that he decided he no longer wanted to be around for them. And especially to the poor soul who found him who is now probably scarred for life.

 

[The Apprentice]

Unreal.

Bale will be devastated.

 

[sidford]

He seemed to have a life most people would have done anything to obtain, prem legend, manager of his country, wealth, etc etc but no ones life is ever as perfect as it seems.

RIP

 

[nightgoat]

Shocking. I suppose the reports of suicide would suggest why the main news outlets and the Welsh FA haven't given many details so far. RIP.

 

[Audere]

This is unbelievable.

A real tragedy.

 

[bern]

Why on earth? shocking news

I can only say I'm pleased for you that you've never sunk so low. I can't begin to imagine what the state of mind someone is in to take their own life.

Gobsmacked...

There is always one thoughtless, clueless waste of skin that cant keep their ridiculous thoughts to themsleves. Shame on you.

Yeah lets not turn this into a morals of suicide thread.

Suicide is a mental illness.. It's people like you that needs to read up on it a bit more before making pathetic comments like that.

Wow. I don't even know where to start with this one.

Before you guys go ripping into the guy, stop and think. Maybe someone close to him took their own life and it still hurts

 

[CosmicHotspur]

I have nothing but sympathy for someone who is in such despair that they feel life is no longer worthwhile.

He seemed to have so much more to live for and he appeared to be making a success of managing Wales.

Unless you've ever thought of taking your own life at some time, it may well be difficult to understand. Logic and balance of mind don't come into it because you would be unable to think about the impact it would have on those who care about you.

It's a tragedy and I only wish he had been able to reach out and get the help he needed when he was in such a desperate state of mind.
