Queensland’s independent Member of Parliament, Jimmy Sullivan, has been discovered deceased in Brisbane.
Authorities reported responding to a location in Stafford around 10:15 p.m. last night, where they found the body of a man.
The police have stated that the circumstances surrounding the death do not appear suspicious, and they are in the process of preparing a report for the coroner’s office.
Last May, Sullivan was expelled from the Labor caucus due to personal difficulties, resulting in his transition to the crossbench.
This decision followed a particularly challenging period for Sullivan, beginning with police intervention at his residence following an alleged domestic incident the day after the state elections.
The matter was dismissed after a court appearance but the LNP didn’t let it drop in parliament.
Sullivan accused the LNP of a lack of decency, as Labor MPs raised concerns privately.
“I thank my leadership team for giving the time and space to address my health issues,” Sullivan said at the time.
This is a breaking story. More to come.
