Australian Idol Contestant Commits Suicide

October 5, 2008 by Jeanne  

A former contestant from the first season of Australian Idol has tragically ended his own life. Levi Keremea died after jumping from a hotel balcony.  As part of the R&B group (with his brothers Jules, Ezra and Lane), Lethbridge, the 27-year-old had just performed at the Parklife Festival in Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens and Riverstage.

It is believed that Kereama has been battling depression.  A message from his family said: “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.”

I would like to extend my condolences to the family.
