His family confirmed his death, with the police also making a statement about his tragic death.

They stated: “Emergency services were called to a home in Razorback, where they found a man unresponsive. Ambulance paramedics commenced CPR but they were unable to revive him.

“Investigations are continuing into the circumstances and anyone with any information is urged to contact Camden Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”

Lachlan Rofe also appeared on the Australian reality TV show, Farmer Wants a Wife one year after Married at First Sight.

He connected with Belinda Reid on the show, however less than 24 hours after the finale aired the pair revealed that they had already split up.

He told TV Week that their relationship suffered because of the long distance, saying: “We were trying back and forth and spoke on the phone all the time, but the distance makes it really hard.”

He also came under scrutiny in 2017 when he was found guilty of assaulting his then-girlfriend, Casey Williams, in front of her daughter.

He was placed on a 12 month good behaviour bind but later appeared the conviction, with a magistrate overturning the guilty verdict.

He explained to Channel Seven at the time: “Being a man of principle, I chose to clear my name. I’m too scared to even go see women ‘cos I just feel with everything that’s happened, I just feel like I’m a target.”
