Forgive my ignorance here, but I believe Don Scott died of a heart-attack and was not poor when he died. Also he was a much feared punter in the 70's and early 80's never in the 50's.
I could be wrong but....
Johnny Diamond tells me it was a conspiracy by bookies to leak to the press that Don committed suicide.
(For those who don't know, JD was a close friend of Don and a force to be reckoned with in the late 70's.)
