Springbok great James Small was reportedly found "naked and unresponsive" in a sex club shortly before he died of a suspected heart attack in Johannesburg last week.
The former test winger, who represented South Africa 47 times including in the 1995 World Cup final where he was iconic All Black
Jonah Lomu's opposite number, died on
Wednesday (NZT) at the age of 50.
According to Rapport, a naked and unconscious Small, 50, was rushed to a hospital in the suburb of Bedfordview by an unknown couple.
According to the report, police were called by hospital staff when the couple refused to sign their names into a register. A third man later arrived with some of Small's possessions - including his mobile phone, laptop and wallet - and reportedly got into an altercation with hospital staff and police.
A close friend of Small, who wished to remain anonymous, told the newspaper three withdrawals of R1000.00 ($107.00) each were made on the night of Small's death, the last only 30 minutes before his arrival at the hospital.
