With no preexisting conditions or family history of heart failure/issues, the stroke was dubbed a freak accident, Beadssworth stating, "I was more concerned that my health was 100 per cent rather than (about) my water polo future".

Competing in the 2008 Summer Olympics ranking 8th and again in the 2012 Summer Olympics ranking 7th.

His sister is national water polo player, Gemma Beadsworth.
