Tragedy

18.11.2004

Michael Ljungberg, one of Sweden's most successful wrestlers and a popular character in Swedish media, commited suicide last night.

He was taken in for depression, something he'd been suffering from for quite some time. His father visited him earlier yesterday and said he thought he seemed a little bit better. That afternoon the hospital found him dead. He had just been made president for the Swedish wrestling association, and was recently engaged to his new girlfriend.
He became 34 years old.

My thoughts go out to his grieving family. May he rest in peace.
