Mainwaring dead in late night tragedy

1st October 2007, 10:00 WST

Former Eagles player and champion footballer Chris Mainwaring has died, police have confirmed.

In a statement this morning, police confirmed that the dual-premiership player, 41, was taken to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital by ambulance shortly after midnight.

It is understood Mainwaring may have suffered a seizure at his up-market Haining Avenue home in Cottesloe.

Police responded to a complaint regarding a man yelling in the street at 11.25pm.

It is understood Mainwaring was calm when emergency services arrived but he refused assistance from the ambulance.

He was placed in the care of a neighbour, and returned to his home without incident.

Shortly afterward, St Johns Ambulance was called again and found the man unconscious.

He was taken to SCGH and pronounced deceased a short time later.

Major Crime is investigating the circumstances surrounding Mainwaring’s death on behalf of the coroner, as is the procedure for all unexpected deaths.

Yeah, then you can bag the crap out of him if you want to! Why can't people all of a sudden have an opinion?

[Booney]

Until all the story comes to light,any allegations that are untrue could be considered in any legal pursuits made.Thats why.

[CENTURION]

well then, you had better delete every thread on this site because it is full of personal opinions.

[Booney]

WTF are you talking about?

Opinion is one thing,alledging something that may not be true is a different story.

[CENTURION]

blah blah blah, AFL too precious, back to the SANFL site.

[Booney]

LMAO,it has nothing to do with AFL,it has a lot to do with this site,and others like it being held liable in a court of law for scandalous remarks.

Goodbye to bad blood.
