Maggie Varcoe, sister of Australian Rules star Travis Varcoe, has tragically died after sustaining a head injury while playing in a women's grand final in an Adelaide Football League.
Varcoe, playing for club Angle Vale, walked off the field after the devastating collision but later collapsed in the team's dressingroom. The 27-year-old was rushed to hospital immediately.
She was in a coma at Royal Adelaide Hospital all week before news broke of her death on Thursday night.
She reportedly spent her final days surrounded by loved ones.
