Rugby league great Arthur Beetson has died this morning at the age of 66 after suffering a heart attack.

Paramedics performed CPR but he was unable to be resuscitated and was transported to Gold Coast Hospital.
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh told State Parliament about the death just after 10am and offered her sympathies.

“He loved his league, he loved his Queensland and his loss will be felt by many.”
