Australian actor Ben Unwin has died at the age of 41.

He played the role of Jesse McGregor in Home and Away for more than a decade, before focusing on a career as a solicitor.

His body was found near a waterfall in a national park, close to Australia's Gold Coast.

Police discovered McGregor's remains on the 14th of August, a day before his 42nd birthday.

Officers are not treating his death as suspicious.

Lynne McGranger, who plays long-running character Irene Roberts, told Australian media she is "deeply saddened" by Ben's death.

Unwin was nominated for several awards during his time in Home and Away.

After leaving the soap, he graduated with a degree in law and worked as a solicitor in Sydney.
