Stathi Katsidis found dead

[bigred83]

thoughts are with mick and his family after reading this one. such a loss is never a good thing. hope mick gets thru all this ok.
dont know how much this will affect preperations for his upcoming bout. hopefully not too much, but all respect to what he decides is best for himself and family during this time of loss.

RIP.
I wouldn't be surprised if the fight doesn't go ahead or gets postponed.
Sad news.

I'd just read this myself.
Tragic. I think this will mean a postponement for the Marquez fight.

RIP

Don't overdo it with shock & sympathy guys. It wasn't an accidental death.
He's @ peace now

werer they a close family ?? I dont follow the racing game and honestly never heard of Stathi. I obviously feel for the family but can Mick be prepared for JMM after this (hence the question on the closeness of the family). Im not being heartless, just a legit qiestion.

It'll probably knock around Michael & his preparation for upcoming fight, which will most likely cause postponement.
Might be touch easier to handle, if Michael was game to return to OZ, attend his funeral & possibly face a bit of time behind bars.
Katsidis family is well known in Toowoomba & both were/are known as troubled young men.

You should be very careful about what you write on a public forum at this stage. I understand the rumors about what you are saying but there are conflicting reports (from people who are his close friends) as to wether it was accidental or not.

Thanks for your advice

All I have heard so far is that there are no suspicious circumstances. That could mean a lot of things.

Hope his family are well.
