Charlotte Dawson’s former husband, Scott Miller, has said through a spokesman that he is “deeply shocked and saddened” by her death “even though they had not been in contact for some period of time”.
The Olympic silver medallist recently appeared on 60 Minutes in what was his first public interview in more than a decade and is planning a second tell-all interview under the contract with Channel Nine.
In the first of a two-part story billed “An Olympic Downfall”, 60 Minutes canvasses the “
“spectacular rise and fall” of the Olympian from “the Golden Boy of swimming” to “his failed marriage to Charlotte Dawson, the drugs, the prostitutes and how he lost millions in the controversial pink batts insulation scheme.”

Charlotte Dawson, who was found dead at her home last week following a well-publicised battle with depression and social media bullying, later tweeted: “Hoping scott miller a man I loved very much can recover & become a great dad to [son] jack. So sad @60Mins.”
Her long-time friend Richard Wilkins told AAP that he and Dawson spoke about the program, in which Miller denied having an affair while they were married.
“We talked a lot about Scott’s interview on 60 Minutes, which had raised a lot of stuff for her,” Wilkins said.
In her last interview with Fairfax Media, a week before her death, Dawson said that she still loved Miller and he would be the only man she would ever marry. She described their break-up as “a painful time in my life”.
