Stop this now. I'm quite sure that if there was one iota of truth in these rumors, then why would that lead to him topping himself? It's not against the law.
It would have been easier I suppose if he was involved with Rugby instead of "macho" football.

nothing to do with the sport he was involved with. it was a personal issue! like I had said previously when it was said to be depression... he looked ok the day before, yet more importantly he spoke with friends and collegues about future plans etc.
This type of death smells suspiciously of bad/shock news that has caused him to take his life very quickly without thinking things through fully.
If the rumours are true... then I can understand why he felt like his whole life as he knew it came crashing down around him. In those few moments a person would have been capable of stuff they had probably never even contemplated previously.
