Former Australian Idol finalist Levi Kereama has tragically died after falling from a hotel balcony in Brisbane on Saturday night.
News reports claimed that the 27-year-old was suffering from depression, however this has been denied by his family. Queensland Police are not treating his death as suspicious.
Tony Tjin left a message on Facebook to thank fans for their support.
“On behalf of Levi’s family, I would like to say thank you for your prayers and kind messages, it’s great to know that he touched so many people’s lives.”
Following his stint on Idol, Levi formed R&B outfit Lethbridge with his brothers. He had played at Brisbane’s Parklife Festival earlier that day.
What a terrible loss. It’s always awful to hear about the passing of talented people, but when they’re taken so young it’s that much more tragic.
