Olympic marathon champ Wanjiru dies after balcony fall: Tom Odula, The Toronto star
Kenyan Olympic marathon champion Sammy Wanjiru died in a fall from a balcony after a domestic dispute involving his wife and another woman, police said Monday. One police official said Wanjiru committed suicide, while another said he jumped to stop his wife from leaving the house after she discovered him with another woman. The 24-year-old runner died late Sunday after jumping from a balcony at his home in the town of Nyahururu, in the Rift Valley, said John Mbijiwe, the police chief in Kenya's Central Province. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Wanjiru became the first Kenyan to win a gold medal in the marathon, finishing in an Olympic-record two hours six minutes 32 seconds.

I don't see any reason why he would commit suicide, but reading the article more, you can see that many people believe that he did commit suicide. They probably have their reasons and defiantly know more on the subject than me. I feel terrible weather is was suicide or not because a great athlete has gone way too early. He will be greatly missed and I feel terrible about the whole situation
