Australian Football League player (AFL) and coach Robert Wals died at the age of 74 after the use of voluntary dying laws.
Walls – Legend of Carlton Football Club – won three prime ministers with the team as a player and one as a coach, and later became a figure of the media and pundit.
In 2023, he was diagnosed with acute lymphostic leukemia, a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer.
His family told local media that he had died surrounded by his children, in his apartment, which came out of the house of AFL in Victoria, in Melbourne cricket.
In 2019, Victoria introduced voluntary laws that allow a person that allows a person in the late stages of the advanced disease to stop his life with the help of drugs with the approval of two doctors.
In his statement, Wals’s family stated that he died Thursday morning, local time, “after 14 years as a League player, 16 years old, 25 years old as a commentator as a self -proclaimed” supporter. “
“Fighting cancer for more than two years, Robert did it his own way and decided to end the fight, which he saw more than 250 nights at the hospital over the last two years,” the statement said.
In a message on X Carlon FC gave tribute to the sports icon, calling it “one of the great servants of our game”.
More than 200 matches for Carlon FC lost to the walls, winning the Prime Minister in 1968, 1970 and 1972.
His coaching career included victory in 1987 for Carlton, as well as the leadership of the Brisbian Lions and Richmond tigers. He retired in 1997 and became a famous commentator AFL.
Wall’s wife Erin died of cancer in 2006. He was survived by three children and Julie’s partner, local media reported.
