Victorian cop found dead at Glen Waverley police station after taking his own life
- Male officer found dead at Melbourne police station
- He is second Victoria Police officer to tragically die in weeks
- For confidential support, contact Lifeline 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636
The Victorian police force has been rocked by its second suicide within weeks after an officer took his own life while on duty at a Melbourne station.
The male officer was found dead at Glen Waverley police station, in the city’s south-east, just after 12.30pm on Friday.
The tragedy comes after officer Rowan Andrews, 38, was found dead at Laverton Railway Station, in the city’s inner-west, during the early hours of January 12. He was not on duty at the time.
Victoria Police said the exact circumstances surrounding the latest death are being investigated.
But the death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
Meanwhile, devastated friends have flocked online to pay tribute to the young male officer.
In one touching post, a man urged others to be kinder to emergency services personnel as they have tough jobs protecting the community.
‘Rest in peace young man,’ he began.
‘Police officers are human too but the sadness hits them a lot harder than [the] normal public as they deal with a lot of negativity in their usual work day.
‘Just because they wear a uniform, doesn’t mean they are bullet proof. If you’re married to them or are in a relationship with them, then it becomes your responsibility that you understand and keep an eye on what they’re going through.
‘A gentle tap on the shoulder at the right time can make a difference between life and death.
‘If you’re going through something then please make sure that you talk, talk to someone.’
Tragedy Strikes Twice: Second Victorian Police Officer Found Dead in Melbourne
The recent deaths of two Victorian Police officers have highlighted the urgent need for better mental health support within the force. As investigations continue, colleagues and the wider community call for action to address the challenges faced by emergency services personnel.
In the quiet corridors of the Glen Waverley Police Station, a somber mood prevails as news breaks of a male police officer found dead, marking a distressing pattern of loss within the Victorian Police force. This incident, not being treated as suspicious, casts a long shadow over the force, coming just weeks after the death of Officer Rowan Andrews at Laverton Railway Station. The community and colleagues alike reel from the impact, sparking a renewed focus on the mental health of those who serve and protect.
Remembering the Fallen
The recent losses have sent ripples through the heart of Victoria’s emergency services community. Officer Rowan Andrews, remembered fondly as a great leader and a steadfast friend, left a legacy of dedication and service. His untimely departure last month has been mourned by family, friends, and former football teammates, who all recalled his unwavering support and leadership. The identity of the officer found at Glen Waverley remains undisclosed, but the tributes flowing in underscore a shared sentiment of grief and respect for the sacrifices made by those in uniform.
A Call to Arms for Mental Health Awareness
These tragic events spotlight the urgent need for comprehensive support systems for emergency services personnel. The strenuous demands and high-stress situations inherent to police work often take a significant toll on officers’ mental well-being. Colleagues of the deceased Glen Waverley officer have paid tribute not just with flowers and memories, but with calls for action to enhance mental health awareness and support within the force. They emphasise the importance of acknowledging the challenges faced by emergency services staff and the critical need for accessible, confidential support services.
Investigations and Reflections
As investigations into the precise circumstances of the Glen Waverley officer’s death continue, the incident is not currently being treated as suspicious. A report will be prepared for the coroner, in the hope of shedding light on the events leading up to this tragedy. Meanwhile, the Victorian Police force, together with the wider community, reflects on the need for vigilance in supporting the mental health of its members. It’s a poignant reminder of the hidden battles faced by those who work tirelessly to ensure public safety.
In the aftermath of these losses, the conversation around mental health in high-pressure professions has been reignited. The message is clear: support services and open dialogues about mental health are indispensable. As the Victorian Police mourn the loss of two of their own, the imperative to care for those who care for us has never been more evident. Let these tragedies not be in vain but serve as a catalyst for change and heightened awareness around the mental health challenges faced by emergency services personnel.
Tragedy Strikes Twice: Second Victorian Police Officer Found Dead …

Victoria Police has been rocked by the death of a second officer in more than a month
A police officer was found dead at the Glen Waverley Police Station shortly after 12.30pm on Friday.
Victoria Police said the death is not being treated as suspicious at this stage and the exact circumstances are currently being investigated.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
The death comes nearly four weeks after police officer and local footballer, Rowan Andrews, was found dead at Laverton Railway Station, 25km from the Melbourne’s CBD.
The married father of two, aged 33, was not on duty when his body was found in the early hours of January 12.
Mr Andrews’ family and friends have remembered him as a “great bloke” who was loved by everyone.
A former coach of the footballer described him as a “rock” and said he has received “thousands (of) calls from all over Australia” since Mr Andrews’ passing.
“He was just a natural leader, he was a bloke in the trenches with you, he was not a loud mouth, he was just a great bloke,” Chris Rourke, who was the senior coach at the north Canberra based club when Andrews joined, told the Herald Sun.
“He would be the last person you would ever think would leave us. He was a rock for his family, a rock for the footy club, he was Mr Dependable.”
In a post on Facebook, Ainslie football club, which Mr Andrews joined in 2009, offered its condolences to Mr Andrew’s family.
“Rowan joined the Ainslie Football Club in 2009 and made an instant impact not only with his uncompromising training habits but his fearless and tough way of playing football in the Ruck. He led the way and set the tone for many games,” a spokesman for the club said.
“Two time Premiership player in 2010 & 2011, Rooster played 80 Senior games with the club.”
“Our sincere condolences to Alice, Max & Zac and to their extended family.”
