If it was from drugs its a sad way to go for a champion player

WCE have had a shit year which I enjoyed being a crows supporter however no one can take any joy from the death of a champ

Very sad for his family and the club and such a waste of life at 41

Condolences to the Mainwaring Family.

Great footballer - shocking news.
Really hope the media handles it respectfully. Its not about WCE scandal - and hopefully wont be treated like that.

This is just horrible. I really didn't think things could get worse for the Eagles, but this season doesn't even matter compared to a young man's life. RIP Mainy

The news just reported that he was found yelling in the street at about 11, ambulance called however he refused their assistance and was left with a neighbour. Another ambulance called about one hour later and he was found unconcious, taken to hospital and died shortly after.
