​

Simon Dunn, Australia’s first openly gay bobsledder, and rugby player, has died suddenly at the age of just 35.


Dunn’s body was found in his Sydney apartment on Saturday (21 January) by police, who have said his death is not being treated as suspicious.

NSW Police said in a statement: “At about 10am on Saturday, January 21, 2023, police were called to a unit on Crown Street, Surry Hills, after reports the body of a man had been found inside."

“Officers from Surry Hills Police Area Command have commenced inquiries into the circumstances surrounding his death, which is not being treated as suspicious.”

Simon Dunn was the first gay athlete to represent Australia in bobsled. After retiring from the sport in 2016, he took up rugby, and played for all-gay team the Sydney Convicts.

He made a return to bobsled in 2021 in an attempt to qualify for the Winter Olympics in 2022, but was forced to withdraw due to injury.


The athlete was shortlisted for the Australian LGBTI Awards Sports Personality of the Year in 2018 and 2019.
