 The head coach of Russia's national volleyball team (women) Sergey Ovchinnikov, age 43, was found hanged in his hotel room in Croatia, report. The team's lackluster performance at the London Olympics may be behind the alleged suicide.

He was at a training camp in Croatia with his team Dynamo Moscow when the tragedy occurred. According to Croatia's 24sata news website, Ovchinnikov missed breakfast; when the club's employees went to his room, they discovered him hanging.

Former Russian coach Vladimir Kuzyutkin speculated the suicide might have been a reaction to the poor showing of the Russian women's volleyball team at the 2012 London Olympics.

Russian Volleyball Federation director general Aleksandr Yeremenko confirmed the news of his death, but said he was unable to provide any further details.
