Aussie Rules great dies using voluntary assisted dying lawsHis family told local media he died surrounded by his children, in his apartment which overlooked the home of AFL in Victoria, the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Australian Football League (AFL) player and coach Robert Walls has died aged 74, after using voluntary assisted dying laws. The state of Victoria introduced voluntary assisted dying laws in 2019, which allow a person in the late stages of advanced disease to end their life using medication, with the approval of two doctors. Walls wife Erin died of cancer in 2006. He is survived by his three children and partner Julie, according to local media.
