Pro Snooker Player Paul Hunter Dies Aged 27 :(

[TheOne]

Paul was battling with cancer for the past year, one of Snookers bright young talents was diagnosed with cancer last year. I had heard recently that he might not beat it but this still came as a shock, what a waste!

Heartbreaking. Genuinely heartbreaking.

My thoughts go out to his wife, young daughter and the rest of the Hunter family at this time.

Best wishes

This is very sad news. Paul was the rising star in the game just 3 seasons back.

I was lucky enough to meet Paul in Beijing a couple of years ago. He was a down-to-earth guy with a happy up-beat spirit.

I really thought he'd recover from this

Very sad to hear, I thought he was doing better.

Nobody should die that young. That's the same age as my oldest boys (twins), I can't imagine them dying so young.
