That was my first reaction too. No suspicious circumstances and seemingly young and healthy. So. Damn. Sad.

Whoa! There's a info at the bottom of the page for lifelind and beyondblue. Is that suggesting what I really hope it's not suggesting?

Sadly, it almost always means exactly what it suggests.

Condolences to the family & hopefully all media take Pando's "just the facts" lead & don't try to sensationalise the circumstances.

I can confirm that what it suggests is indeed what happened.

Very very sad. My thoughts are with his family.

Geez....RIP Vicks....always brought the pain when he played. An awesome lock for Australia/Waratahs/Brumbies cut down by injury. Thoughts are with his wife and young kids.....

This is really shocking news. Such a wonderful rugby player and so well respected.

Simply terrible for his family and friends. So sad to think he was struggling so bad that this way out was considered.

So very sad....terrible to hear such a high profile and well loved past international player has passed away so young and sounds like in very tragic circumstances....Yes thoughts are with his young family as tough time for them.

To find yourself in such a space that that it's the only option you can see as a means of resolution must be frightening. If that is the circumstances of his passing. I've dealt with issues with depression and anxiety since my early teens but have fortunately never found myself in that headspace. So sad. I'm actually a little upset over this news. Devastated for his family.
