“We would be grateful for family privacy at this time.”
Fashion model Jethro had previously been jailed following an assault on his mother Beau Lazenby, and was diagnosed with schizophrenia, according to the Guardian.
It is the second family tragedy for Cave, following the accidental death in 2015 of one of his twin sons Arthur, who was 15.
