Mike Tamoaieta - RIP

[Stargazer]

This appeared on my twitter feed; very sad news. He was only 23.

[sparky]

Sad news indeed. 23 is far too young to go.

Rest in peace.

[antipodean]

Only 23. That's desperately sad.

[canefan]

He had his whole life ahead of him. Terrible. What happened?

[Yeahtheboys]

Do we know the cause of death?

[Stargazer]

From a newshub article:

The cause of death has not been made public.

[Duluth]

Horrible news.

This will hit the players etc hard. He was playing for the A side a couple of weeks ago and just missed out on the current tour

[KiwiMurph]

Just horrible news. So young. RIP. Thoughts are with his friends and family.

[Paekakboyz]

The lack of detail can often indicate suicide. Really tragic news and what a huge loss for his family and friends.

Yup. No listing of suicide help lines at the moment. But it's early. Either way 23 is just far too young

[Kirwan]

Oh man, 23 is way too young. Really feel for the family.

Quick note for the thread, please don’t speculate on the cause of death. We don’t need to know.

[taniwharugby]

Wow just found out...very sad.

RIP big fella.

[Nogusta]

By all accounts such a well loved member of whatever club/team he was associated with. Very very sad

[African Monkey]

Devastating news. RIP.
