People are asking more about Quinton Bird Death because he was the second husband of Louise Speed, wife of Late Gary Speed.
Louise fell in love with 53-year-old Quinton Bird ten years after the death of the former “Leeds and Newcastle” Actor Gary, and the two were married in December 2021.
In November 2011, at 42, Gary committed suicide, leaving Louise struggling with loneliness. Father of three, Mr. Bird, had helped Louise overcome her loneliness. In the 1980s, Gary and Louise were just 15 years old when they went on their first date.
Bird and Louise had been business partners for six years. Both served as directors of the thriving Bow Property Development in Chester, specializing in new construction and restorations.
Alan Shearer, a former Newcastle and England striker, presided at the couple’s wedding at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire right before Christmas in 2021. Shearer is a close friend and former teammate of Gary’s.

Roy, Bird’s Father, paid tribute to his son by expressing his “devastation” at losing him “at such a young age.”
The entire family “had been left with a plethora of lovely and exceptional memories,” he continued, calling his son a “great” Father.
In 2011, Speed committed suicide in his Cheshire home. Later, a coroner declared that Speed’s suicide might have been unintentional.
Cheshire coroner Nicholas Rheinberg issued a narrative finding stating that “the evidence does not sufficiently determine whether [his death] was intentional or accidental.”
Speed contacted his wife days before he died and “spoke in terms” of committing suicide, according to the Warrington Coroner’s Court inquiry.
There have been some highly terrible moments, which we have all had to find our unique ways to suffer, Speed’s family wrote in a statement at the time.
