SAD NEWS: MAFS And Farmer Wants A Wife Star Lachlan Rofe Dies Suddenly At 47
Australian reality television and the rural community are reeling today after the sudden death of Lachlan Rofe, also known as Lachlan McAleer, aged 47. His passing was confirmed by family members on social media, but the cause of death has not yet been disclosed.
Emergency services responded to a home on Old Razorback Road in Razorback, near Cawdor in the Camden area of New South Wales, after Rofe was found unresponsive. Paramedics attempted CPR but were unable to revive him. Police have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
Rofe first came to public attention when he appeared on Married At First Sight Australia in 2015, paired with Clare Tamas. His stint on the show attracted significant attention, and although the relationship didn’t last, it marked him as one of the memorable personalities of the early seasons.
In 2016, he joined the cast of Farmer Wants A Wife, where he met Belinda Reid. Despite a strong connection on the program, that relationship ended before the show’s finale.
Outside of his TV appearances, Rofe was known for his life as a cattle farmer in Cawdor, New South Wales. He often shared images and stories about farm life, animals, and the rural lifestyle he loved.
His public life included moments of controversy. In 2017, Rofe was found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Casey Williams, a ruling that was later overturned on appeal. The case and its aftermath took a toll on his reputation, but also left him speaking frankly about the difficulties of life in the spotlight.
Another public incident involved an investigation into alleged illegal tree clearing on his family’s property. Rofe defended himself, saying people were envious of his profile, and claimed everything had been done according to regulations.
In the days leading up to his death, Rofe remained active on social media. His last post, in early August, showed him with a young girl at an event, captioned “Proud, great night.” Friends and fans have expressed shock at how suddenly he passed.
Tributes have poured in from reality TV colleagues, fans, and locals. Many have described him as down-to-earth, genuine, warm, and someone who truly relished the rural way of life. The news has hit especially hard in the Camden area, where he was a known figure.
As investigations continue, his family has asked for privacy. Authorities are calling on anyone with information related to his passing to contact Camden Police or Crime Stoppers. A coroner’s report is expected to shed more light on what led to this tragic loss.
