Editor's note: Brisbane Times is hearing you. It is clear after a groundswell of support that while at Brisbane Grammar School, Mr Masters was a respected and trusted member of the teaching community. There is no evidence that an allegation published online this week either directly or indirectly led to his death. We feel an obligation to report all facts as we know them. And if an allegation against Mr Masters is indeed incorrect, it is truly abhorrent - particularly so if it is found to have contributed to Mr Masters' death. Our condolences go to all within the school community, Mr Masters' family and all those who are mourning his death.

Brisbane Grammar School on Thursday told parents police were investigating the death of head of Year 7 Greg Masters, who headed the school's swimming program.

Mr Masters was found dead on Thursday morning.

Two days earlier, an anonymous blog post named Mr Masters as having sexually abused a boy from St Paul's School in Bald Hills three decades ago.

It is understood Mr Masters strenuously denied the accusation.
