Not sure if you are aware but Ferjan didn’t take his own life. 

you're right, i remember he was found dead in his car and for some reason associated it straight away with suicide using car fumes, my bad

Terrible news. I remember Tomasz riding for Lakeside in 2008 . A really nice guy . One of the outstanding memories of all the years I have followed Speedwáy is Tomasz beating Leigh Adams in the 2008 play off semi final at Lakeside, passing and repassing throughout the whole race with never more than a bikes length between them, and Tomasz  just getting it on the run in to the line. 

So sad that this sort of tragedy should come upon such a nice  man and such a great competitor .

Never saw him ride but tragic news...seems especially poignant in that a number of Polish riders have taken their own lives over the years.

RIP

He was found in the back of his van after getting out of bed in the middle of the night and was working on his bike when he died.

Former Pirate Ingar Hvammstad hanged himself in prison as well so you can add that to the list as well.
