The NRL star's cousin, Bronte Cartwright, told Daily Mail Australia she was shocked by Ms Hura's sudden death.

'I didn't know her all that well except from family occasions but, she was a part of the family at one point so it's very, very sad,' Ms Cartwright said.

'Even with everything that happened between [her] and my cousin Bryce, she's still a person.'  

Ms Hura's lawyer Paul Cramer, who represented her in court after nude photos of the Panthers second-rower were leaked last year, said he was 'shattered' by the death of his friend.

'It's absolutely devastating and shattering... it's tragic,' he told Daily Mail Australia. 

'I've known her for quite some time before she was my client, I worked with her in a bar for a few years. My condolences to her family.'

'I'm not mentally f***** up I'm just laughing at you... you're going to be dead soon,' she reportedly said in the video.  

Police took out an apprehended violence order on behalf of Cartwright, ordering Hura to stay 250 metres from him as part of her bail conditions.

Ms Hura and Cartwright dated for six years before reportedly having a nasty split over another woman.

In a lengthy post explaining the breakup, Ms Hura claimed to stand for 'all women' and that men 'should not be able to get away with this'.

'You can call me a slag, crazy, psycho, liar or b****... but is that honestly fair?' she wrote.

Meanwhile, Cartwright made headlines earlier this year after it was revealed another woman was allegedly paid $50,000 to abort a child fathered by the rugby league star. 

The 24-year-old woman, known only as Miss X, claimed to have dated Cartwright for several months in 2016.

Miss X, who said she was against abortion, claimed she fell pregnant to Cartwright and had the termination in November because she felt she had no other choice.

'I felt I had no other option than to get rid of the baby, the pressure was relentless,' she told The Daily Telegraph at the time. 

A contract was reportedly drawn-up before the procedure stating the pregnancy would be terminated by agreement of both parties and Cartwright would pay Miss X the $50,000.
