Zac Denton of Melbourne band The Ocean Party has died from a brain cyst at age 24.
The Ocean Party made the announcement at their Facebook page saying:
It is with great sadness and a very heavy heart that we must announce the passing of our beautiful friend and brother Zachary Levi Denton. Zac was admitted to St. Vincents hospital on Sunday evening with a migraine which after brain scans was realised to be related to a cyst blocking the fluids from draining from his brain. The doctors did what they could to relieve the fluid but swelling of the brain was too much.
Zac wrote two songs, ‘Home’ and ‘Rain On Tin’ on the The Ocean Party album ‘The Oddfellows Hall’ and was credited as engineer on ‘Beauty point’.
The Ocean Party is Jordan Thompson, Liam Halliwell, Curtis Wakeling, Lachlan Denton, Zac Denton and Crowman
