The sudden death of a young father of three is now being treated as a suspected murder.
The body of Jarryd Miller, 35, was discovered at his home on Walnut Street in Lowood, west of Brisbane, about 5am on Tuesday.
His cause of death remains a mystery, with forensic investigators scouring the scene for evidence on Wednesday.
Mr. Miller's friends and family describe him as “a loving family man who always puts his family first and most important.”
He is survived by his partner Jess, their daughters Nikita, 14, and Cloe, 6, and eight-year-old son Tyson.
Friends and family of father-of-three Jarryd Miller (pictured) have paid tribute to the 'beautiful' father after he was found dead at his home in Lowood, west of Brisbane, on Tuesday.
Jess said on Facebook on Wednesday that her 'beautiful Jarryd was stolen from me', shortly after his good friend Samantha had a GoFundMe for the family.
“He was my best friend and my favorite drinking buddy for the past 13 years. He was always busy with his hands and always trying to solve things,” Ms Hall's post on the fundraising page reads.
“Jarryd has played a huge role in the lives and experiences of so many people and absolutely deserves the best send-off we can give him.”
His sister Courtney said he will be “forever missed” in a message on the fundraising page.
'I can't believe you're gone. My heart breaks not only for me, but for your beautiful family who now have to live without you.”
Emergency services pronounced Jarryd (pictured) dead at the scene, and forensic investigators arrived later on Wednesday to open a murder investigation

Others took to social media to remember the father as a close friend in the online gaming community.
Queensland Police declared the family's home an active crime scene and began an investigation into his death, which continued on Wednesday.
“He would go crazy to see his family can't even get back home, everything has been taken from them,” Mrs Hall said.
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact police.
