AFL Player Dies in Las Vegas

really puts things into perspective when tragedies like this happens, feel sorry for his parents who have lost their son .
 
Ch 10 news say it wasn't a fall from the balcony as there aren't many balconies at the Flamingo hotel which they weren't living in and the LV cops found him on the ground unresponsive at 5.30am. Influence of alcohol was mentioned.

I've already left a message on the Power From Port website on behalf of PRE. Good idea regarding PAFC. I'll contact them once details are confirmed.

thanks rosy.
 
His fiancé left Vegas two days before so he d have time with the boys
Her dad is the head accountant to the company I was doing private work for today
We found out at noon but kept quiet until released on media
She is devastated with families
RIP JM and sympathy to all family and friends
It was an unnecessary tragedy
God bless your soul
 
Very very sad news.

A player that could have been a Tiger.

Condolences to John's family and friends and to the Port and Collingwood Football Clubs.


Our club will be saddened having known the player for a brief period also.

Way too young to leave. :'(

R.I.P. John McCarthy.
 
So sad. Only 22, so much ahead of him. Only 1 year older than me so hits home.

Tragic news. Deepest sympathies to his family, friends and teammates. May God bless and keep them.
Farewell young man.

Terrible news. Came to like him when he almost became a Tiger, and stayed interested in his progress. His poor family, girlfriend and team mates! Condolences and deepest sympathy.
