Thats awful, judging by the phone numbers at the end of the article he must have been in a really bad way.

@jegga yeah you dont wanna speculate but seems that way
No ‘seems’ about it. When the numbers are at the end it’s a given what happened.
I met him a few times years ago, my ex wife’s mate flatted with him. Nice bloke.

I don’t know why but when someone kills them self I get a bit teary.
It’s a prick of a disease
I weirdly wish I could just hold their hand and say “it’s ok to feel low. There is ways to feel good again”
Just a real shitter of a way to go

@taniwharugby I had met him a few times through an actor mate. I wouldn't say I knew him though.
Seemed like the life of the party guy. He and Sela Alo came and hosted a Pacifica Festival on the Gold Coast once and they were very funny together and I loved their S'N'P videos on the differences between Islanders and Palagi.
Just such a waste of talent and life. I feel so bad for his daughter as well as his wider family. Kids need their fathers(and mothers obviously) and it's so hard to understand this thing that he has done. But unless you are going through this, this horrible illness, it's impossible to understand.
For gods sake check on a mate you're worried about. Just pick up the phone, stop by. Let them know you're there.

@raznomore yeah I attended an event a few years back and he was one of the MC's, and seemed such a confident and happy guy, easy to chat to...you just cannot tell what is going on inside though...that is the scary part, how do you reach out to someone who seems to have it all and be happy with it...

Was he one of the guys in all the "Sharpen Up" Lift ads?
