Bronson Norrish’s wedding to Ines on Married At First Sight was one of the more awkward audiences have had to witness, but it was Bronson’s father, Neil, and his heartbreaking speech that caught peoples attention.
Neil Norrish’s emotional speech on the reality TV show detailed how three of Bronson’s immediate family member have all died and the great toll the tragedy took on ex-stripper.
According to Daily Mail Australia when Bronson was just 19-years-old his older brother Sasha, 23, was murdered by a bikie gang, and just five months later his mother Sancha, 52, died on the operating table.
The publication also reports that seven years after his brother’s murder and his mother’s death, his eldest brother Brodie, 32, died in his home in Perth – the cause of death is still unexplained.
According to Daily Mail Australia, Bronson admitted that the first two tragic deaths caused him to drink heavily and sent him ‘off the rails’.
Neil Norrish, a farm equipment manufacturer, told Daily Mail Australia that his son Sasha mixed with the wrong crowd in his 20’s: “He was into drugs and got involved with a bikie gang recovering debts for them,
“His housemate was also involved in the gang and one day told them ‘I’m dead’ because he had stolen $300 and bags of drugs from the gang.
“A week later he [the housemate] was dead.”
After the gruesome death of his friend and housemate Mr Norrish says his son Sasha ‘wanted out’ of the dangerous scene, telling the publication: “Sasha was horrified and said ‘I’ve got to get out, this isn’t my scene’. But he was told that if you leave, you’re dead.
“For eight months he never left our side. Wherever we went, he was there. But then he got too confident.”
Mr Norrish told Daily Mail Australia that on June 25, 2003, nearly a year after he told the bikie gang he was out, Sasha had left work and told his father that ‘he had some friends coming over’.
Mr Norrish continued: “Hours later his housemate found him in his car outside his home, staged to look like suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning.
“The bikies got him and gassed him.”
The tragic tale of the Norrish family doesn’t stop there, according to Daily Mail Australia a grief-stricken Mrs Norrish was rushed to hospital in November 2003 with a bowel obstruction that was misdiagnosed as kidney stones.
According to the publication, her bowel had erupted before the hospital realised their mistake.
Bronson’s TV marriage to bride Ines was nothing short of disastrous and reports claim Ines later leaves her TV husband for fellow contestant Sam who endured an ill-fated match with blonde store manager Elizabeth.
