Mike Whitmarsh autopsy confirms suicide

A press release on the County of San Diego site has confirmed that Mike Whitmarsh killed himself through carbon monoxide poisoning. He was found dead in a friend’s home on Tuesday.

This all comes as a bit of a shock for the volleyball community. As I wrote yesterday Mike was a very popular player on the AVP tour. In 1989 he came downunder to Australia to play on the PBVA tour. He was a really nice guy.

I can’t say what led to his suicide but only can say it is a great loss, not only for his family but for volleyball fans around the world…

RIP Mike Whitmarsh.
