... Phelps Tops Himself at Trials: Sad story in the Washington Post. Apparently this guy set a world swimming record and then killed himself.
His coach then said "He was so far ahead I don't think I pushed him at all," which suggests that the coach also wanted to kill him, but didn't get the chance.
But then the article goes onto say that he'll be racing later in the week.
Which is it? Did he really top himself, or is he still alive?
