Just reading the news about the sad death, suspected suicide, of this gorgeous man.
He was absolutely gorgeous in Home and Away and my bedroom walls were covered in posters as a teen in the 90's.
Reading an article earlier, also mentioned was Ben Unwin, another H&A heartthrob, who sadly it seems suffered the same fate.

Do you think their lives peaked too early almost, like they were the most successful they would ever be when they were young men, so where do they go now type thing? Or do you think it's difficult to go from that crazy level of success to a 'normal' life.

Guess just trying to understand in some way, it's made me feel very sad reading about it!

I'm guessing we are a similar age. I felt so sad when I saw this news

Loved loved loved Dieter.

Yes I think it just brought back some happy memories too, he was definitely one of my first 'heart throbs'! Just seemed to have everything going for him, was very sad to see how his life panned out. He seemed very disillusioned with fame.

Oh my Ben Unwin dying has completely bypassed me 😢

I had his poster on my wall , probably the only one I had that wasn't take that to be honest

Susannahmoody · 26/07/2021 18:49

He died of natural causes? Or was it suicide or drug related?

NoNobramma · 26/07/2021 18:52

So sad. And I hadn’t heard either about the
Death of Ben either. RIP.

Another teenage fan who’s been saddened today to hear of his untimely demise. Rest in peace.

I remember when Shane and Angel were the golden couple of Home and Away and every teenage girl magazine had posters of Dieter, sad to hear he passed away so young.

Found it interesting reading about his off-screen opinion of Melissa George, they didn't get on at all.
Apparently there was in interview in 2012 or so where she basically said she couldn't give a shit about Australia, Home & Away or Australian people. Ironic given those were the only reason she became famous in the first place!

Me too, until today. Real life must be difficult when you've had that level of Fame and adoration.

I had a huge crush on him as a teen, poster on my wall and loved watching him. Very sad to hear of his passing.
