Former Australian Idol contestant Levi Kereama was found dead in Brisbane yesterday after he allegedly fell from a hotel balcony.

Levi placed sixth in the first season of Idol alongside Shannon Noll and Guy Sebastian.

He performed on the weekend at the Parklife festival in Brisbane with his band 'Lethbridge', featuring his brothers.

It's believed that Levi was suffering from depression however no confirmation has been made as to whether his death was suicide.

I was in complete shock when I heard about this. You just never thought or know about whats going on in somebody's head. Deepest sympathy to the family. Rest in Peace, Levi.
