Adam Selwood passes away

FORMER AFL footballer Adam Selwood has passed away, according to a statement from his wife and the wider Selwood family earlier today (Saturday, May 17).

Adam – brother of fellow AFL footballers Joel, Scott and Troy – played 187 games for West Coast between 2003 and 2013. He was 41.

“We are heartbroken by the passing of Adam earlier today. Words cannot express the grief and sadness we feel,” Fiona and the Selwood family said.

“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.”

Adam’s brother Troy passed away in February.
