Darren Sutherland

[Conrad]

Anybody know why he took his own life?

I can't find any info in the articles reporting his death. Such a sad story, how can somebody who seemingly has the world at his feet decide to give it all up?

breaks your heart to know this was all we will ever of seen of such a bright and talented young fighter just coming off an olympic triumph and with tv companys banging his door down to get a look at him. With gatti and forrest it was almost as if we could be glad for the memorys they gave us. But with darren it just feels like we`ve all been cheated out of a great story :-(

Darren Sutherland


RIP

Was an amazing prospect and despite him being Irish and me being English, he was my favourite of the Olympians to come through. Not only for his attitude but how good he was to watch.

Promoter Frank Maloney unexpectedly found star super middleweight prospect Darren Sutherland dead yesterday in Sutherland's home in Bromley, England.

Maloney, who also managed Sutherland, went to pick the boxer up for a news conference but found that Sutherland looked to have committed suicide by hanging. The 55 year old was subsequently taken to hospital for a suspected heart attack.

Sutherland had won a Bronze Medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and had won all four of his professional contests to date in dominating fashion.

The 27 year old originally from Dublin was well-liked outside the boxing ring, tremendously talented in it and expected to eventually contend for a world title.

RIP Darren. Too many of these stories this year. Such a promising future. I just hope he's at peace now.

Some reports are coming through now stating that Darren was due to start treatment for depression on the day he was found dead. Apparently, he had "poured his heart out" to his trainer Brian Lawrence around two weeks ago and Lawrence in return had set up an appointment for him with a sports psychologist.
