Herald Sun doesn't name the player. Absolutely tragic news. Condolences go out to his family and friends during this terrible time.

AN AFL footballer has died in an incident in Las Vegas.

Victorian authorities are trying to reach family to inform them of the tragedy.The man was holidaying in the gambling mecca, according to sporting sources, when he is believed to have been found dead within the last 12 hours.
Players of his club are also understood to have been called together for a briefing on the incident.
More to come ...
Edit: Herald Sun have changed it to
A PORT Adelaide footballer has died in an incident in Las Vegas

Word from an ABC source is the Hun ran the story naming the player before his family had been notified.
A HUN journo tweeted the name and then deleted it and that was after the HUN tweeted the link.

I am totally disgusted with all the media outlets trying to be the 1st with this tragic news.

Extremely poor form as his family had not been notified. :thumbsdown:

On thinking, might be some sort of gesture to close the board for an hour or two as a mark of respect to him and his club, his supporters and loved ones. Can't think of much else we as supporters here can do to show our level of concern and sadness. Just thinking.
