El guitarrista de la banda galesa Manic Street Preachers, Richey Edwards de 27 años, desapareció sin dejar rastros en 1995. Hoy, pasados 13 años, una orden judicial lo declara "presunto muerto". A pesar de haber sido reportado visto en distintas partes del mundo, el músico británico se habría suicidado, según conclusiones de la policía británica. El vehículo del músico fue hallado en la zona del puente Severn Bridge, en Gales.
Months later, on February 1, 1995, Richey James Edwards disappeared from the Embassy Hotel at Bayswater Road in London after checking out at 7:00am. His car was found abandoned February 14, 1995 at the Severn View service station near the Severn Bridge, which has since its construction acquired notoriety for being a suicide spot. He was never seen again, although unsubstantiated sightings have been common, so much so that the band have even kept a percentage of the royalties aside should Edwards ever return. Nonetheless, Edwards retains a special place in many fans' hearts. The band was put on hold for six months and calling it quits was seriously considered, but with the blessing of Edwards' family the other Manics went back to work.

Vaya, la pena es que nunca se pueda demostrar que fue lo que realmente pasó. Simples suposiciones.
