At the time, his friend Sammy Adams said he was travelling to Melbourne after news of his ‘best mate’s’ death.

‘I’m on my way to Melbourne now, a day too late for a catch up we will never have,’ he said,

‘I’ll never be able to tell you how much I love you as a mate for all you have done for me.

‘I’m so upset and f***ed up by your death … My deepest sympathy and condolences to all of your family.’
