9NEWS has a tragic story on the untimely demise of former star women’s basketballer Janna Sladic at age 29 after years of public struggle in and out of the courts following a car crash in 2005.

A former elite basketball player and model has died from a suspected heroin overdose in Canberra.

Janna Sladic, 29, was found by family around 1.30am on Friday in west Belconnen


UPDATE: Overnight the Supreme Court published Janna’s latest judgment which makes for chilling reading when one considers the possibility she might still be alive if her sentence had not been suspended.
