Jaroslaw Kalinowski hanged himself in jail while awaiting trail  for killing his wife.

I mentioned Karlinowski and Lis earlier in the thread.

One more name, Arkadiusz Owsiega who killed himself in 2002

I looked into it.

Articles from May/June 2011 mention a blood clot in his leg.

However in August 2011 it's been confirmed that the cause of his death was acute respiratory failure due to an overdose of intoxicants.

So sad for Tomasz.  I well know the desperate situation one can be in if this is due to depression.  It is a hidden disease and can hit you from nowhere at times.

Just a small portion taken from the Sportowefakty article today.

What makes a person decide to take such a desperate step?

There are many reasons for people to end their lives and they can differ significantly. They may have a personal and idealistic background, and may be the result of low self-esteem. It is also worth noting that suicide is often a consequence of untreated depression. Psychologists and psychiatrists over the years have managed to identify common personality traits that may determine suicide attempts, they are personality disorders, both transient and permanent, emotional immaturity, lack of resistance to stress or autoimmunity.

 

The whole article is here. It is very interesting and considers the stress and high level of pressure and criticism on riders and what fans expect from them.
