Very sad and hopefully the end of bad things for WC this year. I am sure there will be more to come including why the ambulance and police left him after the first call.

One of the best Wingmen in the AFL

Mainwaring was a West Coast Legend

Just keeps getting worse for them

RIP Chris

Interesting that it is now alledged that Ben Cousins was one of the last to see him alive...

The Ambulance left because he's didn't want their services. If a person refuses medical attention then the Ambulance officers can't do anything. The article also states he was left in the company of a friend.

The Police would be been there as part of their job, just like every other death, a report to the Coroner has to be prepared. It would of been highly unlikely that they would of attended with the first Ambulance crew.

Try not to make this sad event anything more than it already is.

RIP Chris....

Ben Cousins was the last person to see him, geeeeee, now i dont want to accuse ben of anything but that will not look good for Ben in the media, especailly after the reports are that Mainwaring dyed of a drug overdose.

hmmmm perhaps this is the reason Chris Judd has left the Eagles, being the professional that he is, and not wanting to be around the 'drug culture' which seems to be rife at that Club, but couldnt give the real reason, so claimed it to be for family reasons. I'm sure I wouldnt want to captain a team with these problems ..... just a thought

Not nice for anyone to die that young, no matter how or why. Sport is supposed to 'save' our young from mixing with the wrong crowds.

Chris was a fantastic player and I hope he is remembered in that way

And maybe that is why Judd didn't include the Hawks as a club of interest.
