OK, when I started this thread I didn't think I'd be adding to it so quickly.

Bugger.
Winter Olympian Alex "Chumpy" Pullin has died in a spearfishing incident at Palm Beach on the Gold Coast.

Key points:
Paramedics said Pullin was found wearing a weight belt and with spearfishing equipment
Lifeguards spent up to 50 minutes trying to revive him on the beach
The 32-year-old has represented Australia in three Winter Olympic Games, and was flag-bearer in 2014

The 32-year-old Australian snowboarder was found by a snorkeller on an artificial reef this morning.
Only 32. Shit. By all accounts a hell of a nice bloke apart from being a 3 time Olympian and world champion.

Ben appears to have died Sunday in Calabasas from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Very sad news.

Bizarre. You'd think someone in his position would have a lot going for him. Perhaps it was drugs or mental illness. Perhaps his position came with its own set of unique pressures that he couldn't overcome. Life is hard.

Having your mum divorce your dad and then marry Michael Jackson then Nicholas Cage would put most people into therapy.

Shane Tuck, son of Hawthorn legend Michael, played over 150 games for Richmond, dead at 38

No reference to how he died but the bit at the bottom of every article about him, referring to Lifeline and Beyond Blue tells you all you need to know.
