Could I get a doctors advice on what the issue was and I
I'm sure a real doctor would have heard in doctors circles what was happening
Sorry that you felt my question was inappropriate. I didn't realise he was 69. I only asked if he was ill because it seemed very sudden. Drew Morphett always seemed to be young compared to the other commentators (he certainly looked much younger).
The last I had heard of Drew Morphett was when he was let go by the ABC for cricket commentary. I felt bad for him at the time because while he remained professional to the end, it was clear in his voice and comments that he didn't want to go. And pretty much for a long time, he was the only footy commentator I knew of due to living interstate in a Rugby state and relying on the Winners for a weekly footy fix.
Unfortunately I don't live in Victoria and sometimes news doesn't always seem to filter out.
It wouldn't be the first time that a notable person has passed away and I only found out later that they had been ill. If you see my question being a morbid fascination or similar so be it.
I actually think it is a rather human response to trying to make sense of a situation that might be a surprise/shock. You will be pleased to know that Foxsports are reporting that it is not believed he was unwell. I hope it was natural and peaceful, as I would for anyone, even yourself.
