A tragic end for Ryan Tandy

Written By Unknown on Senin, 28 April 2014 | 22.07

Former NRL star Ryan Tandy has been found dead in an apartment on the NSW Central Coast.

POLICE believe the most likely cause for the death of former NRL footballer Ryan Tandy was an overdose of prescription drugs.

While Tandy was a known drug user, sources have claimed only prescription drugs were found near his body when he was discovered by his mother shortly before 2pm yesterday at her Saratoga home.

Police are not treating the death as suspicious.

It marked a tragic end to a wasted life. Tandy, 32, was never able to ­regain control of his life after he was banned from the NRL for match ­fixing in 2012.

Last year he was arrested for driving an unregistered car and possession of drugs and in January he faced court charged with kidnapping a man and holding him for several days over an alleged unpaid drug debt. It is believed Tandy was acting on orders from a bikie gang, for which he was working as a debt collector and standover man.

A police media spokesman issued a holding statement last night: "About 2pm today police from Brisbane Water Local Area Command were called to a home at Saratoga after reports a man had died. His death was not being treated as ­suspicious and a report will be prepared for the coroner.''

Tandy's mother was the woman who called police. Tandy was a part-time NRL player who played 36 games for five clubs, thrust into the headlines when he fixed a game ­involving Canterbury and North Queensland in August 2010.

He was arrested in February the following year. Despite pleading not guilty, Tandy was found guilty of match fixing and banned for life from the NRL in 2012.

Evidence heard during his trial ­revealed that of the bets placed on the game's first-scoring option with the TAB, 95 per cent were on the ­unusual, but more lucrative, choice of a penalty goal.

Minutes into the game Tandy failed to get off a ballrunner and was penalised

But rather than take the easy penalty goal, Cowboys dummy-half ­Anthony Watts tapped the ball and the Cowboys later scored a try. The penalty goal bets had lost.

Tandy was found to have placed several bets himself on a penalty goal being the first scoring option.
