Tragic new. Don't know much about him but one can only imagine the trauma that he, and now his family, were going through.

Its about the fourth time he has said sick things as a "joke" on the other sports section last time he claimed it was his mate posting, he should be banned

It's his wife I feel sorry for. She lost a baby just as he did - now she's lost a husband too.

The word tragic gets bandied around so much, but I think it's fitting here. His missus has said he was off his anti-depressants because he feared that if he took them, they'd risk having their recently adopted daughter into care. It's like some sort of paranoid depressive Catch 22.

Also, I feel for the drivers of the train.

Just an all-round bad story that just leaves me open-mouthed in dismay and sorrow.

Yep, agree with all that.

RIP.
