A CHAMPION Melbourne skateboarder whose career was destroyed by drugs has died a fugitive murder suspect.
Ben Pappas - who used to earn $15,000 a month as a teenage skate star in the US - was dragged from the water by police divers off Victoria Pier at Docklands.
Homicide detectives had been looking for Pappas, 29, since the body of his former girlfriend, Lynette Phillips, was found at Dights Falls in Abbotsford eight days earlier
Fugitive Idol
Why do I feel somewhat sad for this guy, he had everything but got seduced into drugs and that probably destroyed him.. Probably killed himself but who knows?
