A statement from Natalie Harrowell’s family, issued through the Rugby League Benevolent Fund

Natalie’s family would like to thank all their friends, and the wider Rugby League family, for all their support following Natalie’s passing.

The initial pathologist’s report has been inconclusive on the cause of death, and further tests are being conducted. Natalie’s funeral has therefore yet to be arranged.

This is a deeply sad period for our family, and we would request privacy during this most difficult of times.

The family will notify everyone through the Rugby League Benevolent Fund when a venue and date for the funeral has been confirmed.
