absolutely SHOCKED r.i.p.

I can't believe that, how?

What's your source on that one? Can't find it on any news site.

RIP if true, was one of the better commentators IMO.

Must admit I'd heard it today too and couldn't find anything online about it until I checked here.

Same as well - if true didnt know he was sick and it would be very sad news

FORMER ABC and Fox Sports broadcaster Clinton Grybas, 31, has died today in Melbourne, ABC radio has reported.

The sombre announcement was made on ABC radio during a rain-break in the Sydney Test match. No further details are known, though Police have said there are no suspicious circumstance.

Grybas, from Melbourne, had worked for several years with ABC radio in Perth and headed Fox Football's on-air team.

ABC sports commentator Glenn Mitchell paid tribute to his collegaue and friend, with whom he said he shared a two-man office at ABC radio in Perth for three years.

He described Grybas as a talented young man, who had commentated on many sports with great skill.

He also said Grybas was a close personal friend to him and his sports presenter wife Karen Tighe who had attended their wedding

The said on 5aa he was suppose to host sports today on 3aw today but didnt turn up so some one went there and found him. took him to hospital but it was too late. he was the best victorian commentator. surprised there is nothing on fox sports news seen as though he is there number one commentator for footy and boxing. he was only 32

Terrible terrible news.

Was, in my opinion, far and away the best commentator of football going around at the moment. Id probably go as far as saying he was probably the best commentator of football ive heard. Loads of passion, knowledge, class, charisma and great humour.

RIP Clinton. Way too soon.

How old was he ?.............mid '30's??????????
RIP Clinton

32 I think, man that's my age...what a shock
RIP

DEVESTATED.

I just read about his death on the Adelaide Now website

Total shock, i don't actually believe it. Big loss to the world of sport and in particular AFL calls on Fox Sports.

Always looked forward to watching him as the host of the Winners on Sunday nights.

RIP Clinton - enjoyed listening to many a game he commentated and thought it was always the professional and he made me laugh calling alongside Rexie at 3AW. Will be missed.

what an absolute shock

my thoughts go out to his family and friends

RIP

just saw it on channel 9 news

its unbelievable 32 for fooks sake

he was a very good commentator

SCOTTROO - what was his illness???????

Police had said that there are 'no suspicious circumstances' regarding Grybas's death.
His girlfriend tried ring him but got no response. She rang other people in the
building and after they failed to gain access got building security in.
He was found on the floor in the bedroom and died on the way to hospital.
This was the gist of Channel 7 Melbourne's news bulletin at 6.00 pm tonight.

Very good commentator and a man on the move.

I have a friend who works there, she was there this morning, and is absolutely devestated. Very highly respected by his workmates.
