Normally it's heart attack or maybe stroke in long suffering cancer patients.
Or maybe he had had enough and took it upon himself.....couldn't blame him if that was the case.
I always thought at the end of Cancer the body just starts to shut down and the heart slowly stops beating.
Yes that does happen but it's been a bit quiet as to what happend that's all.
Does it really matter "what happened"? Do you have to see a conspiracy in everything and say something controversial.. Stop being nosy and pay quiet respect eh??
Sorry everyone else for my abrupt intrusion
RIP Jim..a man that rose to heights that very few can or will match..and has a family that share his bravery and courage.
I hope he is remembered as a man who essentially used his image generated from becoming a football player to assist hundreds of teeangers going through a rough patch.
To me that defined the man and he will be missed greatly.

Nothing happened- have you not considered the family and the press had come to an agreement to keep the matter private and not publish anything in the papers out of respect for the man and his family?
Nothing was in the press until Mike Sheehan put Andrew Demetriou on the spot last night at the end of the interview on "On the Couch" and the look Gerard Healey shot at Mike Sheehan said it all.
So move on, Jim has gone and it is a sad time for his wife, his children and his parents and siblings and that's all we (as in the greater AFL community) need to know .
Always remember Jimmy before the 97 Grand Final being driven around in the cavalcade wearing a St Kilda scarf. Bittersweet memory.
Can't believe that Jim and Sean Wight have both already passed away.

I remember that too on Grand Final day 1997!
When Harvey played his first game in 1988, I was a 12yo wearing short pants and struggling with my readin', writin' and 'rithmetic in grade eight. Now, I'm a father of three and a retired AFL player. And he's still going. Amazing! - Michael Voss

Ok thanks that makes sense. I haven't seen On The Couch last night.
It's not a friggin conspiracy theory.
i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.
Superstar of the MFC, the AFL and life in general. RIP Jimmy you star. True gentleman.

Is anyone else close to being offended that melbourne had a 20 year old and a 22 year old involved in the presser at the MCG?

Not offended at all. They are the Captains of the club and I didn't find them to be bogans either.
It's not often that the passing of someone who is not related to me or a close friend makes me emotional, but I did shed a small tear for Jim Stynes yesterday.
He is one of those characters who trancends supporter loyalty. He was a champion footballer, but more importantly a champion human being who showed the the true meaning of humanity.
He will be sadly missed, but his legacy will be celebrated long into the future.
I can't help but think of the sad irony that he holds an AFL record of the most games consecutively played, one that I doubt I will see broken, yet he died so young.
To his family, friends, Melbourne Football Club and all who knew him, my most sincere condolences. R.I.P. Jim you are one Demon that heaven will openly welcome.
Was on a bush camp in the middle of the Victorian wilderness last night and when I heard the news I looked up and there was one particular star shining brighter than the rest.

I see Redeemers point.
They are Mickey Mouse captains. Haven't earnt respect. Their words don't mean as much as Stynes teammates.

They are the clubs captains. They mean as much as any other Captain. I am getting close to bashing my Grandma. When are you next going to the footy?
