Stathi Katsidis Obituary
Katsidis's body was found by his partner Melissa Jackson at their home in Brisbane, her father Tony Jackson told reporters Tuesday.
Police, who confirmed the death, did not reveal the cause but said there were no suspicious circumstances.
Katsidis was the leading jockey in Brisbane last season and was booked to ride the Australian Derby-winner Shoot Out in Saturday's Cox Plate and in the Melbourne Cup on Nov. 2. His brother Michael is the current WBO interim lightweight champion.

To the Katsidis family and friends, as your mourn the loss Stathi the Bible book of Matthew chapter 5 verse 4 offers this thought "Happy are those who mourn, since they will be comforted." Please know that the true God himself will comfort you now and during the days coming.
