A drug problem that still exists if you take for granted what is being heard around town about Cousins at a wedding in Broome a few weeks ago...

Ahh the wonders of the rumour mill and hearsay..

Indeed Fastlane.

I think I prefer the wonders of... apparently doing drugs in front of someone fairly high profile, who apparently has a major dislike to drug users, who apparently happened to witness the rumoured event and who is rumoured to be subtly making it known to the people who apparently need to know.

Apparently.

I think the word is allegedly, but anyway.

Personally I think the word 'allegedly' brings with it too much level of doubt. I would prefer to use the word 'apparently' as in my mind it brings with it a certain level of truth.

Given that Mainy was in the same circle of friends as Ben Cousins, I am not suprised that some people may link his death to drugs, especially when his alleged behaviour would indicate drug use. HOWEVER, as all of the ambos could probably tells us, there are other medical conditions that could lead to the same behaviour. Either way, the real tragedy is the fact that he had died, regardless of how it happened.
RIP Mainy

Yes it was a sad loss - he was a great footballer and a nice bloke from all accounts and and excellent ambassador for Geraldton.

Yes drugs r bad MMMMMk

Drug Overdose[/quote]

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.[/quote]

Fastlane,
The herald sun paper is quoting drugs saying that he had been on an all night bender of cannibas and ecstasy

Friends have said he was on an all-weekend bender.

I couldn't give a rats if drugs were involved or not... At the end of the day, Mainy's dead. And at only 41 years of age. Irrespective of why/who/where he was, he's human - and to quote what a good friend said to me today - 'How many people have been on a bender of booze and drugs in their life?' I'll put my hand up and say yes, I have. I'm just lucky I'm still here.

I wish everyone would just back off on 'alleged' comments. None of us on here know what his exact personal circumstances were, nor do we know how his emotions have been dealing with his situation. We don't know - just like we wouldn't know if another 41yo person in the same situation did the same thing.

Let's remember who he was, and what he's done and leave the insuations be please.

Could not have said it better. RIP Mainy

Well said Chicky!

Maybe we should ask admin to change the name of this thread to Mainy- Tragic Loss or something similar instead of rumours etc.

My opinion!
