I read about this last night. Very sad news to hear about. 28 so young. Last night there was no detail about the cause of death, other than it was sudden.

Today it seems as though she may have taken her own life.

Here was the article I found last night: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/teams/ ... c734af6d09

You just dont know what people are going through. And the socials have a lot to answer for imo.

I know three people who have chosen to end their own life. I was not what you's call close to them, but it is still a shock. One was a 16 year old student where I worked (I was back living in Australia for about 6 months when it happened).
