No way, he was a decent ref from what I saw.

Who knows what personal **** he was dealling with.

Sad stuff. There was another high profile ref that killed himself a few years back. Anyone recall his name? RIP.

I read the most likely demographic group to commit suicide are men over 50.

This is true for all races and in all countries.

Richard Green killed himself. Mitch Halpern killed himself. Now Toby Gibson commits suicide.

3 high profile refs killing themselves. Very strange and so sad.
