Really tragic news, may he rest in peace. I remember back in 09 when Olympic medalist and undefeated pro Darren Sutherland hung himself, couldnt believe it. You would have to wonder what makes these young guys with their whole lives ahead of them do something like this.

Rest in Peace Lewis, I wonder what his problems were to commit suicide.
