It’s the heartwrenchingly tragic news ex-NRL player Chad Robinson’s family and the rugby league community hoped would never come…
After the 36-year-old left his Kellyville home with no shoes, no wallet and no phone on November 26, his family begun the heartbreaking task of searching for Chad for the next four weeks.
And just three days before Christmas, electricity workers made the tragic discovery, finding the star forward’s body at the bottom of a bushland gorge in his silver Suburu station wagon in the Sydney suburb of Kenthurst.
He was only 13km from home.
As reported by News.com.au, the father-of-two appears to have left Marieba Road, clipping the top of a cliff before plunging down a rock face.
Police say there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death, and a post-mortem will be carried to determine his official cause of death.
We are sending our thoughts and deepest condolensces to Chad’s nearest and dearest during this difficult time.
