Martin Manley, a blogger who was 60 years old and used to write about sports for the Kansas City Star, died in August 2013.
Martin quit the newspaper in 2012 to start his own sports blog. Manley was known for his love of numbers, and he created the efficiency rating, which is still used today.
Business Insider says that in 2013, Manley set up a website where he wrote about his plan to kill himself.
Martin Manley’s Death Notice and Why Did He Die?
Martin Manley says that none of the “big reasons adults kill themselves” affect him. But he says that his move is because of a coming economic collapse, more suffering around the world, and the problems that come with getting older.
Manley said that he didn’t want to die alone, and he also didn’t want to die of old age. He did not want to be unable to do anything for years and then die alone. So, he took the brave step of leaving this life behind.
The blogger quit the Star in 2012 to start his own sports blog. Before he left, he came up with a basketball stat called the “efficiency rating,” which is still used today.
Martin killed himself on his 60th birthday. Every day, more than 100 people in the United States kill themselves, and a lot of them leave notes for their friends and family.
Some are angry, some are sorry, and some are very hard to understand. Even so, most of them are only read by a small group of authorities and people close to the person.
Manley didn’t think that telling his friends and family about his death was enough. He wanted to talk to the public. He wanted so badly to explain his life and death to everyone, but maybe most of all to himself.
TikTok is shocked by the suicide blog on Martin Manley’s site
Many people on TikTok were shocked when the story came up again, and many of them said what they thought in the comments section below the video.
One person wrote, “Yeah, I’m sure I’d love to be even more traumatized at work than I already am.”
Martin Manley’s website says that he paid Yahoo in advance for five years of Web hosting, made a huge website about suicide, and linked to it in his last post on his sports blog on Thursday morning.
He killed himself, says the Kansas City Star, in front of an Overland Park police station. It was his 60th birthday.
On the website, which quickly went viral on social media, he wrote that he wanted to write the most detailed description of a suicide letter ever. Next, he started to talk about his suicide. At first, he tried to make it sound like a very logical choice made by a man who was “happy up to the last minute” and wanted to leave the world in his own way.
Fear of getting old was the main reason Manley killed himself
On TikTok, the story of sports blogger Martin Manley went viral.
The sad story of Martin Manley has been the talk of the country for the past nine years. Because of a video that went viral on TikTok, his story got out to a lot of people.
In a strange passage, he posted what looked like GPS coordinates to a stash of gold and silver coins. This led to a macabre and ultimately pointless treasure hunt on Thursday, and it adds to the idea that he is a man who needs to be important.
One reason Manley made a website about suicide was to let everyone know that he did not regret his choice. “In the long run, I hope that my life is remembered and that my suicide is just an asterisk or a footnote,” Martin wrote.
