Don't know where you got that from, 'coz nowhere I've seen is reporting it. Care to say which channel and what was said?

It's been set up as a 'crime scene' because WAPOL must investigate all unexpected deaths for the coroner.

94.5 said drug overdose on an earlier report, but not a later one

Trust some of the media to be gagging at the bit to blame 'drugs'. Hope they have the balls to apologise to his family if they are wrong.

For all we know it could have been as innocent as a brain aneurysm.

It's not the media blaming drugs.... Friends and neighbours said he appeared under the influence of drugs when the Police were called. It was no secret Chris had been struggling with 'life' lately, and he is also estranged from his wife which has taken a toll in his private life. Neighbours as far as 2 streets away heard him carrying on and being disorderly when he arrived home from wherever he was last night.

Certainly a huge loss. Deep down I hope they publically say he was not involved in any drug use but it's wishful thinking.

News just said Cousins was with him earlier in the evening as Mainwaring was helping him with his off field drug problems...
