The BBC reported that the tragic incident is believed to have taken place onstage at the club during a fundraising event that was held for Beddau RFC’s under 10s team. PerThe Times, Buss died during a challenge intended to see how many marshmallows contestants could fit into their mouths.
The statement continued, “This said, we must acknowledge that our loss pales into insignificance in comparison to the loss of a lady who was a wonderful wife, mother and daughter to what was an absolutely tragic turn of events. As a club we send out our sincerest, heartfelt condolences to all the family, the close friends and to all those that this has so badly impacted - you are all in our thoughts today.”
Beddau RFC then added that it was “here to support family, friends and the whole community” and offered the services of the club’s chaplain for anyone who wished to speak with or spend time with him. The club’s message closed with a note of gratitude for the messages of condolences and support they had so far received.
