??Sports star died of drug overdose

The 33-year-old Islander, who was selected to play for the winning 2003 Great Britain Test Team in the MacRobertson Shield series that was played in Florida, had battled his drug addiction for more than ten years.

He was found by his grandmother, in the bathroom of the home they shared, on 26 November last year after injecting himself with fentanyl – an opiate that is between 50 and 100 times stronger than heroin.
