Danny Frawley's Dark Final Days

Following the devastating loss of Danny ‘Spud’ Frawley on September 9, new details have emerged of his final days, and the personal struggles he’d been facing prior to his death.

The AFL legend set alarm bells ringing when he didn’t show up for his 56th birthday celebrations with family the day before he died. The next day, his car was involved in what police called a “significant collision” with a tree in Ballarat, near the potato farm where he grew up, after he failed to attend a psychiatrist’s appointment.
