Gary Speed was a former footballer and manager of the Wales national team who took his own life at his home in Chester on November 27, 2011, at the age of 42. His death sent shockwaves through the world of football, and his family and friends were left devastated. A coroner ruled that there was not enough evidence to suggest that Gary Speed intended to take his own life. His wife, Louise Speed, has since spoken out about his suicide and revealed that he had been ill for a very long time. She has also described the sadness that "never goes away" and how his death was like being "in the worst nightmare possible". Despite the passing of time, she still thinks of him every single day.
