The partner of Adam Hunter has shared heartbreaking details of the West Coast champion’s harrowing final moments.

Hunter, 43, was found unresponsive in early February, with a coronial inquiry revealing meth-induced heart failure as the cause of his death.

Latisha Yacoub, a registered nurse, revealed she administered CPR to her partner as he lay on their bedroom floor.

“I was screaming at him to keep his eyes open,” she said, according to The West Australian.

“He was looking at me. He couldn’t move anything except his head.

“I said ‘just don’t die on me’. That was the last time he looked at me and then he closed his eyes and I started CPR.”

Hunter’s drug use exacerbated his heart complications and coronary artery disease, according to the WA coroner.

Yacoub first met Hunter as a teenager but after drifting apart they reconnected in 2022.

Hunter moved in with Yacoub and her two teenage children in December of that year with Yacoub financially supporting the premiership player after he blew all his money and had his houses repossessed due to his drug addiction.

Yacoub suspects Hunter took meth the day he died.

“I had just come back from Bali with my children,” she recalled.

“We had an argument before I flew out about how he needed to change his life because it was just too hard for me and the kids.

“He was at work when we got home and he went straight to football training after that.

“He got home about 8.30pm. He had a shower and talked to the kids about their holiday. The kids had showers then the youngest went to bed and oldest soon after that.

“Adam and I went into our bedroom and we had a conversation about how I couldn’t have things keep on the way they were.

“He said ‘I really want to make things work’. He promised this would be our year. We had a rent inspection the next day and I was making sure the house was clean and then I was putting contact on some school books for one of the kids because the new school year was starting.

“I heard a noise. I went to the bedroom and he was on the floor. There was a little bit of foam coming out of his mouth and I thought he had overdosed.

“I was screaming ‘what have you done, what have you done’. I lifted his head up and I screamed at him to open his eyes. I kept asking what he had done so I knew what I was dealing with.

“He opened his eyes. I said I was calling the ambulance and he shook his head because he had always said he never wanted to wind up in hospital if something went wrong.

“I said, ‘I don’t care, I need help because I don’t know what you have done’. I asked him to lift his arms and his legs. He had no motor response, no verbal response.

“My eldest was on the phone to the ambulance. I didn’t stop CPR. My son said Adam was turning blue. I knew he had gone. He had turned really blue. And then he turned blood-shot purple.”

Yacoub added that the experience made her question her career as a nurse.

“I was asking myself if I couldn’t save him, how can I be expected to save someone else? I have beaten myself up about that night for a long time,” she said.

Hunter played 151 games for the Eagles and the defender turned swingman etched his name into folklore in the 2006 grand final.

He kicked West Coast’s last goal of the game, his celebration becoming an iconic moment in club history as they sealed victory over Sydney Swans after falling short in the same match-up in the 2005 decider.

Hunter backed up his 29-goal 2006 season with another strong showing in 2007 to finish second in the club’s best and fairest.

But injuries over the following two years led to his retirement from the top level at the end of the 2009 campaign.
