Emergency services rushed to the scene on Saturday night and found his car on fire at the bottom of a cliff in Sydney’s Dover Heights, reports Daily Mail Australia.
Police said his death is not being treated as suspicious.
Charlie – who worked as a builder – reportedly welcomed a baby girl with his partner Kristal Taylor just eight weeks ago.
He also has a 13-year-old son from a previous relationship.
Charlie was an instant favorite on Ali Oetjen’s season of The Bachelor – he ended up finishing fourth in the series.
Channel 10 viewers nicknamed him “Mr Perfect” after he boasted about his strong “family values”.
Charlie’s Bachelor co-star Danny Harris-Wolf reacted to his tragic death on Instagram, writing: “Oh my god Charlie was a decent guy to me.”
After the series, Charlie dated Dasha Gaivoronski from Honey Badger’s season of The Bachelor, and later began a romance with influencer Esme DeWitt in 2019.
He was in a relationship with Kristal since 2021.
The TV star kept a low profile until last September when he was accused of threatening to torture and kill his stepfather.
During the trial, Charlie’s attorney said his client struggled with alcohol abuse.
The judge admitted that Charlie suffered childhood trauma after his father died of an overdose in 2018.
He spent a month in custody and served the rest of his 13-month prison sentence in the community.
