Default Snooker player dies aged 27 of cancer
Paul Hunter has died at the age of 27 after a battle with cancer.

The Leeds player was taken into the Kirkwood Hospice in Huddersfield last Friday and died on Monday evening.

The three-time Masters champion was diagnosed with dozens of neuro endocrine tumours on the lining of his stomach in March 2005.

Despite chemotherapy treatment, Hunter continued to compete professionally but won only one match last season and fell from fifth to 34th in the rankings.

RIP Paul,very talented player.

This really is very, very sad news.

Last saw him on the TV about a month ago on Pot Black and thought he looked quite poorly then.

I feel quite sad now......

RIP Paul
