GREG Ham, the flautist from iconic Australian band Men At Work, has been found dead at his Melbourne home, according to media reports.

The news broke this afternoon, with Derryn Hinch, 3AW and Ben Fordham all reporting the man famous for that Down Under riff had died.



Police confirmed they were investigating the discovery of a man's body in Melbourne's inner north.



The body, believed to be that of Ham, was found by friends at a house in Canning Street , Carlton, this morning.



"Police have established a crime scene, and the local crime investigation unit are attempting to determine cause of death," a spokeswoman said.



Ham, 58, was an integral member of the hugely popular Men At Work, fronted by Colin Hay.



The pop-reggae band dominated during the early 1980s, when they released one of Australia's most beloved classics, Down Under.
