John "J-Mac" McCarthy of the Australian Football League's Port Adelaide Power died in a suspected fall from a Las Vegas hotel, a coroner's report said. McCarthy, a five-year veteran of the league, was in Las Vegas with 10 teammates, the Las Vegas Sun reported Tuesday. Flamingo Hotel security reported a person fell Sunday morning from a roof of the property onto a driveway, about 30 feet, a hotel spokeswoman said. The Clark County Coroner's Office said in a statement he died at University Medical Center and was positively identified, but said the cause and manner of death were still pending. The newspaper cited a source who said there were indications McCarthy may have jumped from the third floor of a Flamingo Hotel parking garage. "This is a terrible tragedy for John's loved ones, and our deepest sympathies go out to them. It is a very sad day for the port Adelaide Football Club and the rest of the AFL industry to lose a young man in the prime of his life," said Andrew Demetriou, chief executive officer of the Australian Football League.
