Adelaide Crows coach Phil Walsh has been stabbed to death and police have charged his son with murder.
Police and ambulance crews were called to Walsh's house in Bungey Avenue at Somerton Park in the early hours because of reports of a domestic dispute.
Paramedics treated Walsh, 55, at the house but he died at the scene from multiple stab wounds.

Walsh's wife Meredith was taken to hospital to be treated for a leg injury.
Officers searched the area for their son Cy Walsh, 26, and detained him a short time later in First Avenue at Glenelg East.
Cy Walsh was taken to Flinders Medical Centre for a psychological assessment and his lawyer Rebecca Gristwood made no application for bail during a bedside court hearing this afternoon.
SA Police Superintendent Des Bray said police found a knife at the scene.
"It's just absolutely terrible when families are torn apart in such tragic circumstances. I mean this for any family, regardless of who it is," he said.
"It's one of the worst things that you can imagine that could happen to you.
"The only thing that is different with this is that he has a high profile. The pain and suffering of the family is no different."
Police issued an appeal for anyone who saw Cy Walsh in Brighton Road in the early hours to contact them urgently.
A mind for midfield
Phil Walsh's death will be felt across the AFL after his coaching stints left lasting impressions at Port Adelaide and the West Coast Eagles.
They said he was believed to have walked north along Brighton Road toward First Avenue at Glenelg East between 1:45am and 2:30am.
Police described him as about 185cm tall and of thin build with spiky blonde hair.
He was in a dark top and dark pants, with grey and brown Converse shoes.
Crows players gathered at the club's headquarters at West Lakes and fans left flowers at the entrance to the building.
The club issued a statement: "The Adelaide Football Club is devastated at the sudden passing of senior coach Phil Walsh in the early hours of this morning.
"We ask if you could please respect the privacy of his family, as well as our players, coaches and staff at this extremely difficult time."
The AFL said Sunday's scheduled game involving the Crows would not proceed, but the rest of the round would go ahead.
The Crows and Geelong will get two premiership points each.
