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.
Tragic if it was an accident, but being in a London bubble the amount of suicides by train, you get numb to it and have little pitty for the person who has done it to themselves. Feel for their families though.
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.
