New detail in Jock Zonfrillo's death revealed
Almost a year on since Jock Zonfrillo’s death, a spokesperson for the Coroner’s Court of Victoria has revealed that they are still investigating what happened.
In a statement shared to 7NEWS on Monday, the spokesperson confirmed that Zonfrillo’s death was still under investigation.
“The death of Jock Zonfrillo remains under investigation by the coroner,” they said
“As this is an active investigation, no further comment can be made.”
The MasterChef judge, 46 was found dead in a Melbourne hotel room on April 30, 2023.
At the time of his death, his wife Lauren was in Italy and had called Victoria Police requesting a welfare check because she was unable to reach him on the phone.
A cause of death was never publicly stated, although sources close to the family have claimed that he died of natural causes.
Zonfrillo was only one day away from joining his co-stars in launching the 15th season of MasterChef before his tragic passing.
The first episode of the season was pushed back a week as friends, family and colleagues mourned the star's passing.
The show aired all of the episodes with Zonfrillo in it, with the blessing of his widow, and they honoured his memory in the final episode.
