Episode Details

Hundreds turned out at Bronte Beach for a vibrant, heartfelt send-off of Matt Dee, the beloved Bondi Rescue star who died suddenly of natural causes. His ashes were scattered at sea during a surf ceremony capped by a massive party wave — exactly how Matt would’ve wanted. Known for his infectious spirit and tireless mental health advocacy, he personally linked his phone to a suicide prevention service and saved countless lives. Though he’d endured personal tragedy, his family and friends confirmed his death was not suicide. Called the “Pirate King,” Matt made everyone feel like family, leaving a legacy of joy, connection, and living life to the fullest — as his former colleagues and loved ones celebrated him with laughter, tears, and a final paddle back to shore.
