Another local shared: “Love to the family, Lachlan loved that farm more than life itself. I’m saddened to hear this.”

“Ambulance paramedics commenced CPR but they were unable to revive him.

“Investigations are continuing into the circumstances and anyone with any information is urged to contact Camden Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”

He was later seen on TV series Farmer Wants A Wifewhere he met girlfriend Belinda Reid.

They split before the show’s final, and he went on to meet girlfriend Kasey Williams.

He was found guilty of assaulting Williams in 2017 but the charges were later dropped after an appeal.

Rofe spoke to 7NEWS about the charges in 2018, admitting he was hoping to repair his reputation.

He said: “I’m too scared to even go see women ‘cos I just feel with everything that’s happened, I just feel like I’m a target.”
