Australian Ninja Warrior’s Zed Colback takes his newborn daughter to see the beach after his brother’s tragic death
Australian Ninja Warrior star Zed Colback suffered an immense tragedy this month when his younger brother died in a snorkeling accident.
Amid the heartbreaking loss, the 29-year-old has thrown himself into fatherhood after welcoming daughter Amara last month.
On Tuesday, Zed took the newborn to the beach to show her the ocean.
In a video shared to Instagram, the thrill-seeker held the tiny tot in the air so she could see the water, before jokingly comparing the moment to a scene from The Lion King.
Zed, who competed in the Australian Ninja Warrior in 2018, paid tribute to Sam in a moving post earlier this month.

He shared a gallery of precious family photos of him and Sam living life to the fullest while rock climbing and parasailing, and captioned it with some sad words.
“I love you little brother. I wish we could have one last adventure together,” he began.
“Our little Amara will learn all about her crazy, loving, big-hearted, fearless Uncle Sam as she grows up. See you in glory.”

Sam Colback’s body was pulled from the water in Albany, on the southern tip of Washington.
Zed comes from a large family of thirteen siblings and told 7News he wished he could have spent more time with his late brother.
“You never think you’ll look back on those moments as some of the last memories of someone.

“We took every opportunity to get out and do something. We were on the same wavelength.’
Zed works as a rock climbing instructor and has been married to the love of his life, Nicole, since 2018.
The fitness guru has maintained his healthy lifestyle since successfully completing his run on Australian Ninja Warrior and enjoys sharing rock climbing photos on social media.
