In 2021, the presenter collapsed at work.
According to the report, he fell and was rushed to hospital.
Beekay was taken off air for three weeks to recuperate.
The cause of his death is still unknown.
Beekay's radio profile has risen steadily over the past years, notably from Durban Youth Radio.
This is where he was doing a late-night show called Lovers Nest on weekdays.
He then moved to Izwi Lomzansi community radio station, where he first did the breakfast show and the afternoon drive later.
The presenter was part of the team that saw this KZN community radio station moving to the number one rank in the province.
This is a developing story.
