What a bloody shock though. I feel for his family, not sure if he had kids but if so then they're the ones that we should all feel for.

Mainwaring is survived by wife, Rani and two children.

How did I guess you might go down this path Dan.

Disgusting discussing it without any info.

This was suggested on MMM news.

My wife is a nurse and regularly has patients around his age who die of heart attacks. So not an uncommon event unfortunately.

If, and I say IF it was a drug related death, as alluded to by several sources, then it should serve as a warning. An otherwise healthy, fit, early middled aged man is now dead.

Very sad news.

Sincere Condolances to his family,friends,team mates and the club.

Always admired him as a player and commentator and will be remembered by everyone in footy with respect

RIP chris

what a shock.

fantastic player, i remember watching that 94 eagles team who i believe were comparable tothe best sides of this day and age.

matera on one wing and mainwaring on the other... unbelievable.

sad day for the eagles, and a sad day for footy in general.

yep thats pretty much what I posted on BF, matera and mainwaring, the wings on which an eagle flys.

no one wanted to see someone who was a very good footballer and apparently a nice bloke, to be dead.

It will all come out one way or the other to big to cover this one up IF something drug related did happen.

they might have some rumours more like it.

st_Trav_ofWA · Mon 01 Oct 2007 1:17pm

94 wasnt mainys strongest year i think 92 he really set it alight part of the reason WC did nothing in 93 was due to mainey being out with injury

i still remember his comeback game in his last year after he had done his knee he had so much strapping and padding on his leg it looked like he was going out to bat then kick the footy

st_Trav_ofWA · Mon 01 Oct 2007 1:18pm

the eagles forum is going ito chaos too many ppl logging on at one time

from 6pr.

he wsa making a menace in the street at 11.25 last night.

Not like you SaintMik to make assumptions without the facts

Saint Mik · Post: # 467080Post **Saint Mik** » Mon 01 Oct 2007 1:45pm

Only going on what was reported at the start of this thread and i actually asked the question to the poster of this thread and was told an answer of it does not look good not making any assumtions at all but you cant tell another on here that they are disgusting just because you dont like what you are reading.

But i will say nothing and jump up on the fence with you

Mr Magic · Post: # 467085Post **Mr Magic** » Mon 01 Oct 2007 1:51pm

SEN also reported it as 'drug related heart attack'.

Saint Mik · Post: # 467096Post **Saint Mik** » Mon 01 Oct 2007 2:03pm

Police say its not suss at all but hey it is WA so that means jack.

Out in the street carring on, just another night in the life of a WC player.

So sad it has come to a death of a champ.

have been listening

when did they say that?

News report only mention a man reported in Street....a bit rowdy etc.

Have not heard mention of drugs in any report.

Riewoldting · Mon 01 Oct 2007 3:15pm

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.

St DAC · Post: # 467142Post **St DAC** » Mon 01 Oct 2007 3:18pm

No matter then manner of his death it is a very sad day for his family, friends and footy club. He was a wonderful player, and has passed on way too young.

RIP Mainy.

Riewoldting · Mon 01 Oct 2007 3:20pm

Meh.

Bye Mainwaring.

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.

Anyway, I'm too new to the country to know who he is and anything about his background, so I will echo what has been said - how tragic for the family that he is gone.

It was mentioned on SEN that they asked WA police if drugs were part of the death and they said that is something they will be investigating.
