Joey Barton: 'Suicide can be prevented'

Queens Park Rangers midfielder Joey Barton has said that he hopes similar deaths to that of Gary Speed can be prevented.

The Wales manager was found dead at his home on Sunday after he had apparently hanged himself.

"Suicide is a mix of the most tragic, most selfish, most terrible (and I want to believe preventable) acts out there," Barton said on Twitter.
