Will you be investigating re drugs
something we will investigate
(have not ruled out anything at this stage)
ie waiting to coroner report
Does not imply anything but typical spin by journos
(Did hear a later grab of supposed news)

Er yes it does. The line I was referring was the one suggesting that Mainwaring's death was accidental and drug-related, and you know it.Richter wrote:Er no it doesn't. If it is indeed what you suggest, may I point out that there is a 10-fold increase in the rate of suicide amongst those who have substance use problems.Riewoldting wrote:Looks more like a suicide than accidental.
Which makes a bit of a mockery of the "beware the evil of drugs" line that this event will be used to support.
So pull your head in and don't appropriate my statement to apply to dual-diagnosis mental illness / substance abuse speculation about this death.

It's funny. I remember when the voting came out for the 2002 Rising Star award and Chris Mainwaring was the only guy to give Chris Judd 5 votes and Nick Riewoldt 4.
I thought he was just being a WA homer. Turns out he knew what he was talking about.
My condolences go out to his family.

The Phoenix Suns and St.Kilda Saints should have at least 5 championships between them since their sudden surge to elite status in 2004.
Actual championships: 0

RIP Mainwaring......was an awesome player and part of the a team that brought a new dimension to the VFL from 1987 onwards (back when interstate teams were still of novelty value!).
I bet Judd is glad to be out of the club now..........

on the channel 10 news at 11 o'clock the sports presenter came straight out and said he died of a drug overdose, and i thought maybe he should have put a 'possible' in front of that
wouldn't be surprised if drugs had something to do with it, considering the apparent culture at the WCE and his actions shortly before his death

cousins was one of the last to see him alive
http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=301171
It has since emerged that one of the last people to spend time with Mainwaring was one of his close friends, Ben Cousins, who is believed to have been with Mainwaring late yesterday.
wwos.com.au understands Chris Mainwaring phoned Ben Cousins and asked him to come over to his home. It's believed Cousins stayed only a short time. According to Brad Hardie, Brownlow medallist and commentator for Perth radio station 6PR, Mainwaring has been in the midst of a "personal crisis".

Could've been one of the last 100 for all we know.
And one I am sure we will hear a lot lot lot more about.

I have a funny memory of Chris M.
One week back in the mid 90s the official injury list in the paper said
West Coast - Mainwaring - Scrotum
Only topped by the week they had
West Coast - Wurrpunda - Sick mother
(and so say all of us).
