Queensland independent MP Jimmy Sullivan has been found dead at his home, according to the source report. He was 44.
Sullivan represented the electorate of Stafford in Brisbane’s northern suburbs. He was elected to the seat in 2020 and later stood as an independent after being disendorsed by Labor in 2025.
His death was reported on 10 April 2026. The report does not provide further details about the circumstances surrounding the discovery.
Sullivan’s position in Queensland politics had made him a familiar figure in the Stafford electorate, where he served as the local member after winning the seat in the 2020 election. His political path changed in 2025 when Labor withdrew its backing, and he continued in parliament as an independent MP.
The news of his death marks the sudden end of his time in state politics. No additional information was included in the source about survivors, funeral arrangements, or a statement from family, colleagues, or party representatives.
Stafford is in Brisbane’s northern suburbs, and Sullivan’s role there placed him at the centre of local issues affecting the community. The source item provides only the basic facts of his death and political background.
Further updates would be expected as more information becomes available.
