ITSEEMS increasingly likely police preparing a report on the death of respectedyoung television and radio commentator Clinton Grybas will find he died ofnatural causes.

TheAustralian newspaper reported on their website on Sunday that the generalmanager of Melbourne radio station 3AW, where Grybas worked, said police hadinformed him there was "nothing untoward" about the tragic passing ofthe 32-year-old.

MrMoss said Grybas, who also anchored Foxsport's national AFL coverage, was foundon the floor of his apartment on Saturday after he failed to turn up to hosthis regular sports program at midday.

"Everythingwas neat and tidy in his apartment. We're all waiting to find out whathappened. There's nothing to indicate anything other than he died in his sleepat this stage," The Australian quoted Moss as saying.

"Hemay have fallen out of bed or decided to sleep on the floor because it was avery, very hot night.

"Atthis stage it is such a shock for someone so young, fit and healthy to die. Ourthoughts first and foremost go out to Clinton's family and his friends,'' hesaid.

Grybasusually arrived at the station at least 90 minutes before the show went to air.

After3AW staff became concerned at his absence, Grybas' long term partner LaurennaToulmin, a former producer at the station, rang neighbours at the couples'Southbank apartment complex before apartment staff let themselves in todiscover the young sports presenter face down on the floor.

Thearticle reported that colleagues from Foxsport, who were with Grybas at acasual barbecue last Friday, said he seemed well and his spirits were high.

MrMoss said Grybas possessed rare qualities in a tough industry.

"Thedifference with Clinton was that in this industry, people with exceptionaltalent like Clinton don't always have a good attitude. But that certainlywasn't the case with Clinton. His preparation was meticulous and he was agenuinely good person on and off the air."

3AWopened its Sports Today programme on Saturday with tributes to Grybas,who would have normally been hosting the show.

Colleagueand AFL personality Rex Hunt described Grybas as a "32-year-old beautifulman."

"I'mstill waiting to wake up from this nightmare,'' he said.

Thenewspaper also quoted former ABC broadcaster, Peter Booth, who plucked an18-year-old Grybas from the relative obscurity of community radio and put himstraight on air calling AFL football on Friday nights.

"It'slike music to the ear if you're a sports commentator and you hear someone doingsomething really well at a very early stage, straight away you stand up and say'Boy, this is fantastic'."
