Manly rocked by death

Rugby league: Manly has been rocked by the death of emerging young forward Keith Titmuss following a training session at the NRL club.

The 20yearold fell ill yesterday morning, and later died in Royal North Shore Hospital. A promising prop who had come through Manly's junior ranks, Titmuss had earned a callup to Manly's fulltime 30man squad for next season.

Titmuss first reported feeling sick after training at the club's Narrabeen base. He was taken by ambulance to nearby Northern Beaches Hospital before he was transferred to Royal North Shore Hospital. — AAP
