[list[/list:uhas died its been confirmed www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-11414736

Tragically took his own life and was found by his family this morning. Thoughts go out to your family. A player with so much ability and so much passion for our great game..

Can only imagine the mental anguish he must have been going through to have thought that this was the only way out. Tragic.

RIP.

Very sad, RIP

Tragic tragic news.... Our thoughts go out to his family and friends at this awful time..

Tragic



R.I.P Terry

RIP

Respects given from the RL team on Sky Sports during the Grand final coverage today. All look deeply shocked.

RIP Terry

Both Brian Carney and Barrie were obviously close personal friends of Terry and of course ex team mates. Terry O'Connor will be feeling it to off screen i'd imagine

RIP, a shocking waste of a young life.

so sad RIP

RIP Terry, my sympathy goes out to all his family & friends at this sad time.

At this time we can only assume it is because of the drugs saga.

Which does beg the question are the RFL doing right by those who are banned from the game? Gareth Hock took an illegal drug, whereas Newton was using a performance enhancing drug, yet they both got the same length ban. I don't know how it works, but do the RFL just wash their hands of the players. Whatever they are doing, it shows to me that they're possibly not doing enough.

RIP terry, condolencies to his family.

scott according to skysports it is down to his marriage failing..
either way a tragic loss of life

I see.

but did his ban have anything to do with his marraige failing!!

whilst i dont condone drug taking of anyform, there must be a better way of dealing/punishing players

weekly drug testing and a long ban (but not two seasons)

RIP
died way 2 young

Tragic waste of life.

RIP Terry Newton.

RIP. A great shame.

RIP Terry
Love him or hate him (And being honest some did)
You had to admire him as a RL player.
He had a natural gift in the hooking role and his character will be sorely missed.
Condolences to all his family and friends.

Shocking news.
Such a sad ending.
R.I.P.

Thoughts go out to his family and friends.

RIP Terry

His sisters death can't have been easy for him to handle either, with all this coming within the past year I am sure isn't ever going to be easy for anyone to cope with.
