death was a heart attack at his home on Saturday morning and he died
early Saturday afternoon.
Australian Associated Press quoted St. VincentÆs Hospital spokesman
David Faktort as saying “he was rushed into St Vincent’s hospital. The
staff of the emergency department worked on Mr. Greig to no avail.”

bronchitis in May, but the condition lingered and in October he had
tests that revealed a small lesion at the base of his right lung.
