Levi Kereama has died after a fall from his hotel balcony. Thought to be a suicide, but could there be foul play involved in his death?

Just hours after he and his band, Lethbridge, performed at the Parklife Festival in Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens and Riverstage, the 27-year-old singer fell to his dead from a hotel balcony in Brisbane, Australia.

Kereama finished sixth place on Australian Idol, but actually gained popularity in 2003 with female fans for his baby face and unique approach to singing. He and his brothers – Jules, Ezra, and Lane – signed a record deal under the name Lethbridge and the act released several singles in 2004.

Some seem to think that Kereama was suffering from depression, though nothing is certain yet. Either way, it’s very tragic.

We wish Levi’s family the best during this tough time.
