    Wales boss Gary Speed found dead - Telegraph

    The former Leeds, Everton, Newcastle and Bolton midfielder was found hanged at his home in Chester this morning.

    Police say there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the 42 year-old's death.

    The Football Association of Wales confirmed the news, saying that Speed's family had authorised the release of the information.

    A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: "At 7.08am on Sunday 27 November 2011, Cheshire police was informed of a sudden death at an address in Huntington, Chester.

    "Officers went to the scene where a 42-year-old man was found dead. The next of kin have been informed and have confirmed the identity of the man as Gary Speed.

    "There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death the family have requested that they are left in peace to grieve at this difficult time. A family tribute will be released at a later date but not today.

    "The force later confirmed that the dead man was Speed."

    After hearing of the news, Manchester United striker Michael Owen, who lives near the star, tweeted: "Just cannot believe the news regarding Gary Speed. We waved at each other a couple of days ago dropping our kids off at school. I'm numb."

    RIP Gary Speed. A credit to football. Such a waste of an obvious managerial talent.

    Was listening to SKYNEWS earlier and the presenter was talking to someone on the phone and he said 'that they entered the house and found him hanging there'. The news presenter said we cannot say until confirmation but it was pretty evident.
    Really sad news,i remember watching him playing over the years and this will be a big shock all round esp for NW.
    Good player RIP
