Robert Enke, 32, died two days ago after throwing himself in front of a train at a crossing near Hanover at around 6pm. Police ruled the death a suicide.
Ekne was a former goalie for FC Barcelona and Tenerife before settling in at Hanover 96 in Germany in 2004. He was also on the roster for the German national team, and was in the running to be named the starting keeper.
After his death it was revealed that the keeper had been struggling with depression and had been seeing a psychiatrist since 2003, as revealed by his wife.
He lost his two-year-old daughter in 2006 to a rare heart condition.
There will be a public service held on Sunday followed by a private funeral service for close friends and family.
My thoughts and prayers are with Enke's family.
