Louis Tillet cause of death: Prolonged illness

Another great Australian musician has left the music industry. One of the most innovative and talented Australian musicians and songwriters of his generation.

He lost his valiant fight a week ago after a protracted struggle with kidney-related issues. As per the official reports, it was confirmed that Louis Tillet cause of death was a prolonged illness.

Illness before passing

His family members spoke about his illness in 2021 which was posted on his Gofundme Fundraising page. Louis’s bandmates reported that he had been seriously ill for six months in 2021.

Initially, it seemed as though he had chronic kidney disease, but after more examination, it appears that the deadly Mitochondrial Disease, often known as Mita, is his new enemy.

He exhibits all of the symptoms on the extensive list, including recent hearing loss. It’s past cure. There are treatments, but there is no cure. The kidney issue and other odd illnesses result from it attacking other body components. You can read his complete illness history here.

Last Update (February 14, 2023) by Louis Tillett, Organizer

For the purposes of closing this Gofundme campaign, which we do with the deepest gratitude and glad tidings, this will be the last update here.

Louis is improving and doing relatively well, even after the close calls he had, due to rigorous testing, trial, and error, misdiagnosis, Covid delays and shutouts for in-hospital care, and inappropriate medications that pushed him to his limits. Thankfully, he bounced back before hitting the very bottom.

Now, he is resting and recovering whilst responding well to alternative treatment, diet, and lifestyle changes. His kidney function has miraculously plateaued. May this wind fill his sails and allow him to fulfill his dreams of sailing and dreaming. Perhaps he will dream up some new “sea shanties for the soul”.
