Ex-Sports Writer Kills Himself And Leaves Massive Website Explaining Why
Sports1 min read

Former Kansas City Star sports writer Martin Manley killed himself yesterday morning outside a police station in Overland Park, Kansas.

Before his death, Manley created a massive website that attempts to explain why he committed suicide. It also involves a rant about 9/11 conspiracy theorists and opinions on everything from food to sports.

"No, I wasn't fully satisfied with my life, but I was fully satisfied with my death!" the intro page to his site says.

Manley left the Star in 2012 and started his own sports blog. Before he left, he invented a basketball statistic called efficiency rating that's still used today.

His suicide came on his 60th birthday.
