SHOOT: Wonder what happened.
Cape Town - Renowned photographer Garth Stead was found dead in his Woodstock home on Monday morning.
It is believed he had committed suicide.
Police officials were still busy at the scene late on Monday morning.
Stead was photo editor of Die Burger at the time of his death. He had also worked as a photographer at the Cape Times.
A former recipient of the Fuji Press award, he was also involved in the Icon Image School of photography.
Stead is survived by two sons and his ex-wife. "Garth is…was a colleague with an unbelievable work ethic, someone who always wanted the best for his team and his product, and he delivered it. He lived for what he did, to take photographs. At times he 'painted' with his camera," O'Conner said.
"I'd like to remember him as the Englishman who always had time for a joke and wasn't scared to laugh at himself. He sometimes made me think of a rubber ball, always en route somewhere, always busy reaching greater heights."
