Australian rugby league has been left shocked and devastated by the death of championship winning coach Paul Green, who was tragically found dead a day after his son's ninth birthday.
The 49-year-old was found dead in the garage of his Brisbane home. Queensland police attended the scene and said the circumstances of his death were not suspicious. A post-mortem will be carried out in due course.
In just his second year of coaching Green led the North Queensland Cowboys to their first premiership crown after beating Brisbane Broncos 17-16 in extra time. He led Queensland in the State of Origin series before resigning last season.
