committed suicide
day after the death of Isaac Gálvez in Ghent velodrome during the dispute of the Six Days of the Flemish city, Dimitri de Fauw, Belgian cyclist whose negligence started the fatal fall of rider Spaniard, told a local newspaper :
"Everybody tells me that it was an accident, that I have no blame for the death of Isaac, but you start to imagine things that are not true and ask yourself: 'How can I overcome it?".
On Thursday, nearly three years after that fateful night in November, De Fauw hanged himself.
The rider, 28, suffered from depression. De Fauw was a specialist in testing six days in court and repeatedly proclaimed champion of Belgium in different specialties. Galvez and De Fauw
collided at breakneck speed in the velodrome in Ghent when they ran the specialty of madison.
Despite the efforts of doctors to revive him in full court, died while being taken to University Hospital in Ghent. Keiss Iljo
mate says he did not notice "any unusual behavior" in De Fauw the last and they had planned to train together in the coming days.
Several times Belgian champion in track specialties, pure product of the school of the velodrome and pinion fixed, De Fauw tried, unsuccessfully, to convert to the road.
ran between 2003 and 2005 in the Quick Step in 2006 and 2007 in the Chocolade Jacques, a Belgian team kermesses and Criterium. Sprinter honest, never won a career on the road.
"After the accident, was never the same. Not as a person and as an athlete. He did not run well."
