Personally I find it more shocking than usual in situations like this. I don't mean to degrade anyone's death, but for some suicides, the reason is obvious: either something happened, or they were just obviously depressed. It's still tragic, but you can see the reason. With someone like Speed... There was absolutely nothing in the way he went about his life that seemed to even hint at the idea that he was suicidal. He had family, a (pretty damn good) job, Wales were on the up, and judging by the reactions of everyone yesterday he was well loved, by everyone.
It just shows how fragile anyone can be beneath the surface, I guess...
