The sportsman, from Melbourne, Australia, was seen slumped inside his car and witnesses urgently raised the alarm.

He suffered a medical emergency while driving his young son to a celebration.

Taylor, a father-of-four, had celebrated his fourth wedding anniversary with his wife Renee just days before his death.

She desperately drove to her husband and son on Saturday, from a retreat she led three hours away.

Despite efforts from paramedics to save his life, Taylor died before his wife could arrive at the scene.

A heartbreaking statement shared on his Instagram account confirmed the tragic news.

The post said: “It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of The MeatAXE – Mark Taylor.

“A devoted father, husband and friend. An artist whose legacy and love will forever live on.”
