That's very sad.
Did they mean Mt Oakleigh?

Yes it is sad. I guess if you're going to go, might as well go doing something you love.

I'm not sure regarding the name, but I suspect you're right. Is there actually a Mt Oakley, or has the sunglasses brand got themselves a free advert...

Wow, that is sad indeed! By medical condition do they mean heart attack?
EDIT= Said in the Mercury Heart attack, also said on Mt Oakley near Cradle mtn. I guess it must be Oakleigh. Poor fella and his family!
