Former West Coast Eagle Adam Hunter has died.

The 43-year-old was reportedly found dead in the Bunbury suburb of Withers just after midnight.

“About 12.20am this morning, 5 February 2025, police and St John Ambulance were called to a residence in Withers upon report of a non-responsive male," a WA Police spokesperson said.

"The death is being considered non-suspicious, and a report will be prepared for the Coroner.”

The circumstances surrounding his death are unknown.

Hunter played 151 games for the Eagles before retiring in 2009 due to injury.

He played a crucial role in West Coast's 2006 premiership win, kicking the match-winning goal.

According to The West, Hunter was training at the South Bunbury Football Club last night.
