Really sad news.

I hope it isn't drug related because he was Ben Cousins biggest support in the first few days after his suspension.

If Ch7 have the story they should let it out now and not wait to scoop the others at 6pm. By 6pm everyone would have their own version of what happened wether it is true or not.

Chris Mainwaring, 41, dies in Perth

FORMER West Coast Eagles premiership player Chris Mainwaring died suddenly in Perth today. Mainwaring, 41, was rushed to hospital by ambulance at midnight after collapsing at home.
Paramedics later took him from his upmarket house in the coastal Perth suburb Cottesloe to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.
The former champion wingman was among the original Eagles 1987 team.
He played in two premierships in 1992 and 1994.
The 201-game veteran helped propel the Eagles into a league powerhouse.
He quit West Coast in 1999 after a comeback from a debilitating knee injury.
Mainwaring joined other former AFL greats Gerard Healy, Kevin Bartlett, Rod Austin, Robert Walls and Mark Bickley on this years all-Australian team selection panel.
He has worked as a Channel 7 newsreader and sports reporter and on Perth radio since ending his footy career.
Mainwaring is survived by wife, Rani and two children.
The shock death follows a tumultuous season for the Eagles including drug scandals and the sudden loss of star skipper Chris Judd.
Judd recently quit to move back to family and friends in Melbourne.
Wayward champ Ben Cousins was banished from the team after confessing to substance abuse and spending time in an exclusive rehabilitation clinic in Malibu.
Fellow midfielder Daniel Kerr was fined $2000 in August after pleading guilty to a serious assault charge over a fracas at a Perth party.
He was also fined $10,000 by his club in February after pleading guilty to assaulting a taxi driver.
The Eagles issued Kerr with a suspended fine of $20,000 and warned he would be banned from senior games if he re-offended.
Kerr was named in a police investigation in which phone taps in 2003 captured him talking to a convicted drug trafficker.

**** that is so sad.:(

I am crying now
