Boxer Darren Sutherland, Olympic Bronze Medalist, Has Died Apparently

1

It’s on a lot of boxing sites and more and more places are running the story. An Irish guy who posts about boxing quite a lot on one of the Celtic sites I browse has said it’s true. Now up on boards.ie and foot.ie too. Sad news, if confirmed.

2

I see it’s on Wiki… Very sad if true.

3

The fuck, any details?! That’s bad news.

4

WTF?! Anyone got details?

5

Christ, what happened him?

6

wtf - thats shocking

RIP

7

Crazy stuff - sudden death syndrome?

RIP.

8

I checked wiki, nothing mentioned there? This is bizarre, surely someone has details?

Some guys who sparred with him have confirmed it here:

Desperately sad if true.

There was no training accident as far as I know- it would appear at this early stage that he took his own life.

Shocking

Rip Darren, in all of our thoughts God Bless.

Nothing mentioned on wiki?
“Darren Sutherland (born 18 April 1982 - died 14th September 2009) was a young Irish professional boxer from Dublin, Ireland.”

Shocking stuff altogether.
RIP.

15

Boo hoo…

16

Fucking hell flano. :confused:

17

This is sickening. Whats the fuck is wrong with all of you.

18

I’ve never met this guy. Lots of people die, do I have to feel upset for every single one of them. Seriously. Im not a completely soulless fuck as my support for Taylor Swift has shown.

19

I believed he was the most talented Irish boxer out there. Watched him batter some goon a few weeks back on tv. Hard to believe, his career had it all going for him. Suicide, what the fuck?

I’m not going to say much about this until it is reported officially.

For fuck sake, wikipedia doesn’t even have it yet.
