RIP to Dan Vickerman. No cause of death but Channel Nein put up the Suicide Hotline number after the story.

So soon after Superfly as well.

The Iron Sheik might be getting a bit worried.

and we just lost Chavo Guerrero Snr and Ivan Koloff as well.

Iron Sheik will be fine. I think he has some immunity working for him, like Jake The Snake.

Seems pretty clear that it was suicide.

His poor wife and kids.

Yes I well remember Trevor Grant. I first noticed him during the Harris fiasco at Carlton during the summer of 79-80. Along with Bruce Wilson (also no longer with us, father of the late Rebecca), their insightful but sometimes hilarious articles kept at least one Carlton supporter sane through that Blue Hills saga.

The Sun obit also mentions his John Watkins color-piece from 1989, a highly praised piece of writing, but Red might also remember his insider's story as a selector of Collingwood's Team of the Century, which exposed the very active and noisy role Jock McHale's son (who 'apparently played about 25 games in the 30s but nobody remembers any of them') played in keeping Ron Todd out of considerations. The story set in motion a series of events which culminated in Todd being very belatedly nominated for the Collingwood H of F, ending a 50-year ongoing zero interface between the Todd family and the club, and a near-twice-that association between the club and the McHales.
