Differentiating Dutch National/Minor League play

[edit]

I think a new section should be created to differentiate his play in minor leagues from his play in the Dutch national or domestic leagues.Neumannk (talk) 19:51, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Death

[edit]

Although this is a sad story, it could be told better. The facts are sketchy but what seems to have happenend is that van Mil for some reason fell and hit his head against a rock while hiking in Australia, in early December 2018. Probable cause was a stroke, causing him to lose consciousness. He was found about a day later by another hiker. He was taken to hospital, and although he had cracked his skull, it was not felt neccessary to operate. After about four weeks he resumed as pooper with the Brisbane Bandits and at the end of the season returned to the Netherlands where he was planning to continue his career. Because his family has refused to relinquish details, what has actually happened is unclear. Van Mil had already stated that he was planning to retire because he felt he was no longer fit enough to play at the highest level. Whether or not his injury has played a role or not is unclear, but IMHO it is too much of a coincidence. JHvW 19:55, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It would be helpful for the article if you could also share the source of this info. Unsourced content cannot be added into the article.--DBigXray 10:21, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is the reason for my comments on the talk page. As the family is not releasing any information, I do not consider it proper to release any information either. My comments are based on information which is publicly available to any one. As it is obvious that many sources are quoting other sources, I can not guarantee accuracy. It is just that as a former health care professional I have grave doubts, as we are talking about the death of a man, who in my mind died far too young. JHvW 19:04, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
