Wales manager Gary Speed found dead in his home

On Sunday police came to his home in Cheshire, England where he is reported to have been found hanged. Cheshire police are not considering the death suspicious and have confirmed that it was an apparent suicide.
“That this tragedy should have overtaken someone so young and talented is a huge loss not only for his family and friends but a nation as a whole,” read a statement released by the Football Association of Wales.
Gary Speed was hired last year and tasked with leading Wales to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. He finished his Wales international career with 85 caps.
Speed made his club debut with Leeds United at the age of nineteen and in total went on to make 750 first team appearances. He also played for Everton, Newcastle, Bolton, and finished his playing career in 2008 with Sheffield United.
