Mike Dickson, a veteran journalist who had been covering sports for the Daily Mail since 1990, has died while covering the Australian Open, his family and the tabloid newspaper confirmed. He was 59.
Mr. Dickson suddenly collapsed and died last week at the Grand Slam tournament in Melbourne, Australia, according to his family. He was just days away from his 60th birthday.
At this time, it is unclear what exactly caused Mr. Dickson’s death.
“We are devastated to announce that our wonderful husband and Dad, Mike, has collapsed and died while in Melbourne for the Aus Open,” the Dickson family wrote in a Jan. 17 statement on his X account.
