Awful stuff.
Adelaide Crows coach Phil Walsh is dead after a domestic dispute at his home. His son has been arrested.
The 55-year-old was found dead at 2am on Friday at a Somerton Park home.
His son, 26, is in police custody and his wife is in hospital with non life-threatening injuries. It's understood his daughter is overseas on holidays.
Police said Walsh suffered "multiple stab wounds", while his wife suffered a "leg injury".
The suspected murder weapon, a knife, has been found at the scene.
"There's been an argument, I can't tell you anything about the argument but as a result of that both Mr Walsh and his wife received a wound and the wound ultimately caused Mr Walsh's death," a South Australia detective told reporters at the scene on Friday.
"A knife was used in the attack and that has been found at the scene. At this stage, we won't say what sort of knife."
Walsh's son left the scene and was found soon after by police in the suburb of Glenelg East, the detective said.
"His son was located at First Avenue, Glenelg East, and arrested for murder and detained for a psychiatric assessment," he said.
The detective said Walsh's son lived at the Somerton Park house with his parents.
"He must have been out or elsewhere and returned there about 2 o'clock," he said.
"Somebody from the house called triple-0 and asked for an ambulance and the ambulance contacted police.
"What transpired I actually can't tell you. I'm sure we will establish exactly what happened and what led to this tragic event."
The Crows are scheduled to host Geelong at Adelaide Oval on Sunday. That match is now in doubt. Shocked Adelaide Crows players were arriving at Adelaide Oval.
3AW football commentator Dwayne Russell said he said he didn't believe the Crows would play on Sunday against Geelong.
"Like a lot of people, I have known him for a long, long time," he said. "I don't think they will play, the AFL was obviously have a look at this."
