Stan Van Gundy's wife of 35 years died Aug. 16, at which time her cause of death was said to be "unexpected."
Friday, with months to reflect on Kim Van Gundy's passing, the former NBA coach and current television analyst revealed more about the circumstances of her death.
Van Gundy told longtime friend and sports talk host Dan Le Batard, on the latter's "South Beach Sessions" podcast, that Kim, 61, died by suicide.
"She took her own life, Dan," Van Gundy said. "I can't imagine that I'll ever get over that. ... It was devastating."
Van Gundy discussed at length the woman he began a relationship with when he was 24 and the life they had built in more than three decades of marriage.
