Wales national team manager commits suicide, speculation of tabloid involvement

He was on �great form� according to those there and left the studio after making tentative plans to appear again on the show before Christmas.

This morning, a little over 18 hours later, the 42-year-old was found hanged at his home in Cheshire having apparently committed suicide.

Last night mystery surrounded his death, with friends and figures in the football world at a loss to explain why Speed, a successful young manager and former Premier League player, would apparently take his own life.

There was also suggestion that Speed, a former Leeds, Everton, Newcastle United and Bolton Wanderers player, had recently learned that a tabloid newspaper was to print a story about his private life.

R.I.P. Gary Speed, a great player and manager.
