Triple M radio host Ewan Dixon has died in hospital months after he was seriously injured in a freak horse riding accident near Melbourne.

The veteran radio host, who spent several years at Gold FM in Melbourne, died at the Angliss Hospital in Upper Ferntree Gully on September 24.

His death was confirmed by his care worker Jason Davis, with friend and former colleague Gavin Wood sharing the update on social media.

“He fought so hard to get fit and well but the injuries were too severe,” Wood said.

“He was my panel operator at Gold FM in Melbourne and did many on-air gigs around the country.”

Born in Toowoomba, Dixon’s radio career lasted several decades as an announcer for Brisbane’s B105, Melbourne’s Gold 104.3 and Triple M Melbourne.

He also featured on the line-up of RadioHits.us WNDR.
