The AFL confirmed Adam Selwood’s death on Saturday morning.
“We are heartbroken by the passing of Adam earlier today. Words cannot express the grief and sadness we feel,” the AFL said in a statement on behalf of Fiona Selwood and the Selwood family.
“Adam was a loving husband, and an incredible father to Lenny and Billie. We are devastated to lose such a wonderful husband, father, son and brother.”
“We will miss Adam deeply—his spirit, his kindness, and the joy he brought to every room. His determination, the lessons he shared, and his infectious personality will stay with us always. Adam had a unique ability to make people feel special, and our family was lucky to experience that every day.”
“We kindly ask for privacy as we navigate this difficult time.”
