Rumours are suicide

Unsuprising, it's rare to hear of accidental death by train.
All the same, i only hope his wife can deal with all this sorrow she's had so far. RIP

Germany and Hannover goalkeeper Robert Enke has died at the age of 32.
Hannover 96 president Martin Kind announced the death of the former Barcelona stopper on Tuesday afternoon, according to the agency dpa.
Kind said, "It is a tragedy. You expect many things, but not something like that.
"I do not know how and why it happened, but I do not think that it had anything to do with football."
Nothing has yet been officially confirmed about the cause of death, but according to German source Morgenpost Online, early signs point towards suicide.
The website quotes a spokesperson from the Hannover police as saying, "Enke has thrown himself under a train at Neustadt am Rübenberge."
The incident is said to have taken place in the small town of Neustadt at around 18:25 local time.
Unhappy
Enke is survived by his wife, Teresa. The couple had a daughter, Lara, who died at the age of two in 2007. Recently they had adopted a new baby girl.
It has been hinted at by Hannover officials, and stated explicitly by the German press, that Enke never truly recovered from the death of his daughter, and that personal pressures such as these were the cause of his suicide.
Bild journalist Wolf Bruer explained to Sky Sports, "It seems to be deliberate suicide. He has apparently driven his car this evening to a train crossing station (level crossing), waited for the train, and the train hit him.
"The president of Hannover confirmed indeed that it's a very sad news. He also said, very importantly, that he confirmed Robert Enke had been a very unstable person."

RIP. Terrible and shocking news. But surely leaving his car on the level crossing is an irresponsible way of doing it and could have derailed the train and killed everyone on board?
What Dean Ashton news by the way?

He didn't drive the car onto the level crossing, mate - he drove to the level crossing, got out and walked onto the tracks.
RIP.
I personally don't know how anyone could ever get over losing a child like that; I guess not in any way but to have a little girl die before you while you did everything in the world to save her would be crushing.

It's tragic that, however great the hell he was going through himself, he didn't stop to realise that his action was destined to put his wife through something even worse. But I guess he'd lost the ability to think clearly.

Too true. But I guess that goes with almost each and every suicide case. Tragic.
