He later went on to appear on Farmer Wants A Wife in 2016 where he met girlfriend Belinda Reid.<\/p>\n
Also known as Lachlan McAleer, he and Reid split before the show\u2019s finale.<\/p>\n
According to a Camden police statement, emergency services called to a home at Old Razorback Rd, Razorback, found a man unresponsive. Ambulance paramedics were unable to revive him.<\/p>\n
Rofe hit headlines in 2017 after his time on reality television when he was found guilty in 2017 of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Casey Williams in front of her 2-year-old daughter after a heavy drinking session. This guilty verdict was later quashed.<\/p>\n

He was placed on a 12-month good behaviour bond but later went on to appeal the ruling.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing a man of principle, I chose to clear my name,\u201d he said in 2018 after the guilty verdict was thrown out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m too scared to even go see women \u2018cos I just feel with everything that\u2019s happened, I just feel like I\u2019m a target,\u201d he said after the ruling.<\/p>\n
Rofe also hit headlines after his family property was investigated over an alleged illegal tree clearing.<\/p>\n
The investigation outcome was never made public by the local council, but Rofe claimed at the time people were just \u201cjealous\u201d of him.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything has been cleared in line with legislation; people are just jealous of me because I\u2019ve got fame.\u201d<\/p>\n
During his tumultuous and public love life he was also involved with infamous pig hunter Natalie Cepenuik.<\/p>\n
In 2017, Cepunuik gained viral infamy after she was investigated by RSPCA NSW over a disturbing image of herself putting a decapitated joey in her mouth.<\/p>\n
In a comment next to the photo, Cepenuik wrote: \u201cI may have deep throated a joey\u2019s neck\u201d, alongside several laughing and beer emojis.<\/p>\n
The photo drew widespread disgust and condemnation online after a viral post from a wildlife activist drew attention to it.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not known whether Rofe was dating anyone at the time of his passing.<\/p>\n
