Müller
Gerhard. 2021-08-15

75

Born 1945-11-03. Domain:Sport. Cause of death:Age

Gerhard Müller was a German professional footballer. A prolific striker renowned for his clinical finishing, especially in and around the six-yard box, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalscorers in the history of the sport. Nicknamed "Bomber der Nation" ("the nation's Bomber") or simply "Der Bomber", Müller was named European Footballer of the Year in 1970. After a successful season at Bayern Munich, he scored ten goals at the 1970 FIFA World Cup for West Germany where he received the Golden Boot as top goalscorer. In 1972, he won the UEFA European Championship and was the top goalscorer, scoring two goals in the final. Two years later, he scored four goals in the 1974 World Cup, including the winning goal in the final. After Müller ended his career in 1982, he fell into a slump and suffered from alcoholism. However, his former companions at Bayern Munich convinced him to go through alcohol rehabilitation. When he emerged, they gave him a job as a coach at Bayern Munich II. There is also a collection of apparel released by sporting giants Adidas under the Gerd Müller name. It is part of the Adidas originals series. In July 2008, the Rieser Sportpark, in Nördlingen, where Müller had begun his career, was renamed the Gerd-Müller-Stadion in his honour. On 6 October 2015, it was announced that Müller was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Markoff
Philip Haynes. 2010-08-15

24

Born 1986-02-12. Domain:Society. Cause of death:Suicide

He was an American medical student who was charged with the armed robbery and murder of Julissa Brisman in a Boston, Massachusetts hotel on April 14, 2009, and two other armed robberies. The media have referred to the Brisman murder as a "Craigslist Killing" because the killer was alleged to have met his victims through ads they placed on Craigslist offering erotic services.
Markoff maintained his innocence of all charges and pleaded not guilty at his arraignment. A grand jury indicted Markoff for first-degree murder, armed robbery, and other charges.
On August 15, 2010, the Suffolk County Sheriff reported that Markoff died of an apparent suicide in Boston's Nashua Street Jail, where he was being held in custody awaiting trial. The district attorney later confirmed the cause of death as suicide. Markoff's death while in custody raised concerns about the safety of inmates in Massachusetts prisons, which currently has a death rate four times higher than the national average.
Markoff made several apparent suicide attempts while at the Nashua Street Jail. In the first incident, jail officials found "shoelace marks" around Markoff's neck on April 23, 2009, three days after his arrest, and they placed him under suicide watch in the psychiatric unit of Nashua Street jail, where he was monitored around-the-clock. In a second incident, on the night his fiancee broke up with him, Markoff attempted to slice his wrists with a spoon he sharpened to a point using concrete in his cell. He was taken off suicide watch a few days later. In a third incident, on the day his wedding had been scheduled to take place --August 14, 2009-- Markoff was found to have stashed medication and was taken to a medical facility.
One year and one day after the date his wedding was to have taken place, Markoff was found dead in his cell at Boston's Nashua Street Jail. The cause of death was later confirmed by the district attorney's office as suicide by self-inflicted wounds and suffocation. Prior to taking his life, Markoff reportedly wrote the name of Megan, his former fiancee, and Pocket, pet names they had for each other, on the wall of his cell with blood and placed her photographs around his cell.

Buchanan
Roy. 1988-08-15

48

Born 1939-09-23. Domain:Music. Cause of death:Suicide

Roy dies in a police cell (FAIRFAX, VA). Roy apparently came home from the local bar with some male person, who then along with Roy acted up, so Judy threw them out, then called the cops. The cops picked up Roy and, the county sheriff tells Jim Buchanan, he was jovial when locked up. Sheriff says they didn't even arrest and book him and told him to sleep it off. A routine check supposedly found Roy hanging from his shirt in the cell, from a low window grate that would make that difficult if not impossible. Marc Fisher, a friend, claims to have seen Roy's body afterwards and reported bruises about the head. It is possible Roy did himself in. It is also possible that he grew belligerent at being picked up, gave the cops a hard time, and they used a choke hold or something that resulted in his death and the need to stage a suicide. Roy may indeed have been fatally remorseful that he couldn't stay on the wagon (reports differ on why he shaved his head that summer) or he might have been the victim of murder.
"My name is Jerry Hentman, I was in the cell directly across from Roy's on that fateful night. I can say with confidence that I was the last person to speak to him. I was locked up in the DT block at Fairfax jail for a B.S. charge (argument w/ girlfriend). I fell asleep only to be awakened several times by Roy throwing some toilet paper at me and cussing at me. I got fed up with it so I told him to shut the "F" up. We went back and forth several times and it just ceased. I was awakened early the next morning to some commotion, I looked from out of my cell and saw the Deputy Sheriffs open Roy's door and cut his shirt from around his neck from the door. I was the only person contacted by I.A.D. several times after this and what I saw was that Roy had taken his own life. They tried in vane for about 15 minutes to revive him but it was too late. Look, I know that it is easy to put the blame on someone else but sometimes the truth is hard to handle. I did not know who Roy Buchanan was, in 1988 I was 24 years old and was into heavy metal rock and roll."
