This is really tragic. Only 23 and had a great career ahead of him. Killed by an underground train at Wimbledon station. R.I.P. I know this is an off topic thread but felt this is worth a thread. He was playing just yesterday as well.

I can't see it being suicide but then again, if you asked me if Gary Speed was suicidal I would have said no.
All deaths are tragic and terrifying, but the idea of being hit by a train is so so scary to me. The fear as you realise that death is imminent would be horrendous. I suppose that's a result of the governments train safety push as I was growing up. R.I.P tom.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "At approximately 04:15 BST on Monday, 18 June, officers stopped a vehicle after it was seen being driven erratically in Arthur Road, SW19.
"The male driver of the vehicle - a black Mercedes C250 - made off on foot. Officers were unable to locate the man.
"At approximately 05:10 BST the body of a man fitting the same description was found on tracks near Wimbledon Park station."
London Ambulance Service medics were called but Maynard was pronounced dead at the scene.
Looks liike a tragic accident.

That is what it sounds like to me as well, such a shame - if he had stopped he would have been nicked but he'd be alive.
