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.

It’s so incredibly sad, isn’t it Jaime? I’m not sure if it was suicide or not, but it does make me wonder what we’re doing wrong as a country when young men like Levi and Mark Priestley feel so isolated and unable to ask for help. It’s a massive loss for us all.
