Because the police originally fingered him for his Fiances murder? He's armless now anyway.


I heard she was going to give him the elbow anyway - he couldn't shoulder the responsibility of being in a long-term relationship.


Sounds like they were both becoming a bit wristless.


The police will have to really knuckle down to solve this one...

I heard he was hanging from a palm tree. It's all I got, baby.

Okay just heard the first funny joke regarding this, spoilered for sensitivity during this ill time.
ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
I've heard that Mark Speight has finally had some good news!
Apparently neither the BBC or ITV would offer him a job but thankfully he's turned up on a local station instead!

I heard about this guys' girlfriend dying in January, and back then all of the tabloids were saying how incredibly vulnerable he was and how it was very likely he would try and take his own life. Wasn't anyone looking out for him since this looked so incredibly likely to happen!? Now the tabloids are acting all "We told you so" about it. I fucking hate the tabloids.

So sad.

The plods have taken a hands-off approach so far, they should have acted a bit more quick..

Yes, he was staying with his Fiancee's parents, I believe - they were caring for him and said that he was very depressed and grieving - he disappeared on the second day of the inquest, I believe. Obviously the girl's parents couldn't have prevented him, a grown man, from leaving and most probably had absolutely no idea that he was about to go and do something so drastic, but you would have hoped that some professional help was being given to people in such a delicate state of mind.

I haven't seen any newsprint so haven't read the stories that you speak of, but I can just imagine - they are hateful pieces of journalism and I never understand the people that read them. :(

This is sad stuff indeed - the whole scenario.

I would be more disturbed, but I got maxed out by yesterdays Observer Magazine cover story.

Sounds like he was in an incredibly bad way, but not raving nuts enough (or dangerous to other people) for the NHS to provide any treatment. Poor guy.

What's that, you're hideously depressed, and would rather like to kill yourself. Ok, we'll put you on this handy 9 month waiting list. *joy*

An article by a friend of M. Speight here kind of clears up a few things.

You think Terminal 5 at Heathrow is bad? I know someone who spent 6 days hanging around at Paddington station last week.
