Potentially difficult question: Willy Mairesse
This is a bit of a tough topic for some, I'm sure but I hope you can take it that I ask out of pure curiosity and so as to level out my own thoughts.
Did Willy Mairesse kill himself?
I think I remember reading somewhere that he had an accident at the 1966 Le Mans. He was driving a Ford GT40 when the door flew open on the Mulsanne straight and he crashed. He was left paralyzed but survived. However, rather than live with no mobility, he decided to take his own life.
Its detailed enough so I think it must be mostly true but I'm just looking for confirmation. You know how incorrect information can be spread around.Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam
