In a statement issued jointly with Network Ten and production company Endemol Shine, the Zonfrillo family revealed the Scottish chef had died in Melbourne on Sunday.“With completely shattered hearts and without knowing how we can possibly move through life without him, we are devastated to share that Jock passed away yesterday,” the family said.
Victoria Police confirmed officers attended a Lygon Street address for a welfare check and found a 46-year-old man dead at 2am on Monday. The death was not being treated as suspicious and police will be preparing a report for the coroner. “This is a terribly sad day,” said Beverley McGarvey, executive vice president of the network’s parent company Paramount ANZ. “Jock was an extraordinary man. He was a wonderful colleague and friend, and we feel very privileged to have had him play such an important and impactful role inDespite all his notable professional milestones, nothing brought him more joy or happiness than his family. Our thoughts are with them at this very difficult time.
