Jock Zonfrillo: Twist in the death of MasterChef star almost a year after his body was found in a hotel room


MasterChef star Jock Zonfrillo, 46, was found dead at Zagame's House hotel in Carlton, near Melbourne 's CBD, at about 2am.

Zonfrillo, who had recently moved to Rome with his family just before his death, left his wife and two young children Alfie and Isla in Italy to return for the launch of MasterChef's 15th season. He checked into the hotel hours before the tragedy and was facing a big week of media commitments, but died the day before the show went to air. In the book, he spoke candidly about how he began working for celebrated British chef Marco Pierre White at 17, when he was homeless and addicted to heroin.
