The posts refer viewers and followers to a GoFundMe page created by the late podcaster's family, which is nearing its $50,000 AUD goal with over $32,000 AUD in donations so far.

"There really are no words to describe this sort of pain, and we know a lot of people will be feeling this heartbreak with us as he was loved by so many," the grieving family wrote of the workout guru, who became a dad in December 2023 after welcoming son Rocky.

Per the fundraiser's description, Tippet's loved ones plan to use the cash to help his parents "in any way we can," starting with raising money to help bring the late creator's body home and "assist with funeral expenses."

On Oct. 30, Tippet celebrated his 30th birthday with an Instagram post listing "30 life lessons I’ve learnt now I’m 30," as his caption stated. The 21st item on the list now reads as foreboding: "Growing old beats the alternative — dying young," Tippet wrote in his caption almost two weeks ago.

Lesson no. 25 furthered the sentiment: "The best is yet to come," he wrote.

Over the past few years, Tippet opened up about his addiction to steroids during interviews and podcast appearances. During a 2022 episode of the Good Humans podcast, the bodybuilder described his withdrawals as "hell."

"I lost a girlfriend off it. I nearly lost my family off of it. I nearly went to jail, as I got caught with my own personal use of steroids," he revealed during the candid discussion.
