The manager of the Welsh national football team, Gary Speed has been found dead at the age of 42.
The BBC report doesn't name a cause of death but the Daily Mail says that he hung himself.
He won 85 caps for Wales as a player (the most for an outfielder) and played for clubs including Leeds, Everton, Newcastle United and Bolton. Wales have been doing quite well recently and beat Norway 4-1 in their last match.
He appeared live on the football preview programme, Football Focus yesterday on BBC One.
This seems to be a rather strange and unexpected situation. Speed looked to have a promising managerial career ahead of him and I don't have any idea how or why this has happened.
