Fontaines DC manager Trevor Dietz has died by suicide at age 47, an inquest hears. Multiple outlets report that he died following a fall from height in East Sussex on June 7.
The inquest also focuses on Dietz’s mental health. Sources describe a long battle with anxiety and other mental health difficulties, with one outlet saying he had been open about his struggles. Fontaines DC is reported to have referred to him as “the sixth member of the band,” and tributes have been shared following his death. Outlets differ mainly in emphasis—some stress the timing and circumstances of the inquest and death, while others foreground Dietz’s reported anxiety and how colleagues viewed him—but they agree on the core facts: the inquest links his death to suicide and records his ongoing mental health concerns.
