Sentinel: Former Port Vale star Lee Collins was found 'hanged' in hotel

Do we really need a headline like this at the top of the news/forum feed? While it's upsetting for all, this could also be a trigger for someone suffering from mental health issues. While there is a wider debate needed about men's mental health, I don't think a headline like this helps anyone. 

 

(I know it's the Sentinel headline not Rob, but hopefully he can take it down)

Sadly not a great surprise. Tragic as it is.  Not sure how dodging around the facts would help. Probably better to put it out there in the open. No point keeping it secret.  Better to be open about this kind of thing in my opinion. 

Speaking personally, as someone who has had problems, it makes we want to cry for him.  

But I would rather the truth.  Makes you think on in a very sober way.  The opposite of  wanting to follow that path.

Oh this is awful.  I must admit that this possibility had crossed my mind.  I mean there are only 2 reasons a man of 32 just drops down dead, either some kind of undiagnosed heart condition or suicide.  As weird as this sounds, I was hoping it was a heart condition.

As someone who struggles with their mental health this has really upset me.  Not ashamed to admit I just had a little cry when i read this.  You kind of idolise footballers, especially ones who were really good at your team and put them on a pedestal, forgetting sometimes that they are only humans like all of us.  I'm not a religious man but I hope Lee is now at peace or at least is no longer suffering.
