Graham Thorpe’s wife has revealed the cricket legend took his own life as she opened up on his mental health battles.
Thorpe died aged 55 last week after a long and illustrious career for England and Surrey.

The dad-of-four had been seriously ill in hospital in May 2022 after trying to commit suicide.

He made a recovery but took his own life on Sunday, August 4, his wife Amanda Thorpe said as reported by The Sun.

“Despite having a wife and two daughters whom he loved and who loved him, he did not get better,” Amanda told The Times.

“He was so unwell in recent times and he really did believe that we would be better off without him.”

She added: “We are devastated that he acted on that and took his own life.”

Amanda said Graham had suffered from major depression and anxiety “for a couple of years”.

She said her husband was admitted to an intensive care unit in May 2022 after making an attempt on his life.
