Absolutely stunned. Condolences to his family.

Cricket loses an incisive commentator.

I rarely agreed with him, but he had a very nice way of saying it.

Not a savoury end to his life - Writer questioned then fell to his death

Quite dodgy circumstances.

Yes not good at all with mystery surrounding the lead up to his death.

Its going to be a different ABC Radio this summer with Roebuck no longer with us and Glenn Mitchell having resigned from the ABC in June 2011 suffering terrible depression. According to his wife Karen Tighe (also ABC announcer), Glenn wont be coming back.

We might get more of Mr Cricket Dan Lonegan this summer.

As long as they dont give Drew Morphett any more air time. But yes my favorite cricket commentary team is going to sound quite different this summer.

I always read his columns, they were always forthright and sometimes a little bit left of centre, but he was always willing so speak his mind on something,

a trait some of the his other contemporaries lack, for fear of rocking the boat with access to the team.

RIP Peter Roebuck

If this occured whilst Police were in the room that is very sad. He was in a bad space indeed. These circumstances almost always happen when the person is alone.
