Gary committed suicide in November 2011 at the age of 42, leaving Louise to struggle with loneliness. Mr. Bird, a father of three, had assisted Louise in overcoming her loneliness. Gary and Louise went on their first date in the 1980s when they were both just 15 years old.
For six years, Bird and Louise had worked together in business. Both were directors of Chester’s booming Bow Property Development, which focused on new development and renovations.
Before Christmas in 2021, the pair were married at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire by former Newcastle and England striker Alan Shearer. Gary has a good friendship with Shearer, a former teammate of his.
The second husband of Gary Speed’s widow Louise, Quinton Bird, died at the age of 53. Two years before his passing, the real estate developer was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Bird and Louise exchange vows at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire in December 2021, ten years after Speed’s passing.
They had been partners in business for almost six years and had created Bow Property Development, a renovation company with offices in Chester.

In a memorial to his son, Bird’s father Roy expressed his “devastation” at losing him “at such a young age.”
He continued, calling his son a “great” Father, that the entire family “had been left with a plethora of lovely and exceptional memories.”
Speed killed himself in his Cheshire home in 2011. A coroner later concluded that Speed’s suicide may not have been intentional.
According to a narrative conclusion by Cheshire coroner Nicholas Rheinberg, “the evidence does not sufficiently determine whether [his death] was intentional or accidental.”
According to an investigation conducted by the Warrington Coroner’s Court, Speed spoke to his wife a few days before he died and “spoke in terms” of committing suicide.
We have all had to find our special ways to endure some incredibly bizarre circumstances, Speed’s family said in a statement at the time.
Death of the First Husband
Speed made an appearance on the BBC One television show Football Focus on November 26, 2011. Dan Walker, the host of the program, remarked that Speed was “in good form.”
After the program ended at one o’clock, Speed and Alan Shearer traveled to Old Trafford to watch their former team, Newcastle United, play Manchester United.
At five o’clock, Speed departed for his home in Huntington, Cheshire, which was about an hour’s drive from Old Trafford. The following morning, just before 7 am, his wife Louise found him hanging in his garage.

She contacted the ambulance service at 7:08 a.m., alerting the police as well. They acknowledged that he had died and said they were not looking into his death as suspicious.
Although the specifics were not verified, it was claimed that Speed had died by suicide.
A few hours later, the Football Association of Wales made Quinton Bird’s passing public. There was a Speed death inquest on November 29, 2011. The new date is January 30, 2012.
