Christopher James McCann, 50, was charged with a single count of using the internet to procure a child under 16 for a sexual act. He was formerly a Commonwealth Bank Executive in Sydney, NSW.
He appeared in Brisbane Arrest Court on Monday where he was granted bail after being extradited from NSW.
His alleged offending was described on Monday by Magistrate Louise Shephard as "terribly serious".
McCann allegedly engaged Brisbane sex worker Shauntelle Elizabeth Went, 18, his co-accused to supply the services of two girls aged 14 or 15.
He was accused of making an arrangement and agreeing on a price to use Went's services alongside two underage girls. Ms. Went was also charged with a single count of using the internet to procure a child under 16 for a sexual act.
He was granted bail ahead of an August 4 court date on the condition that he had an overnight curfew and was limited to one mobile phone with no encrypted applications.
He didn’t survive his next court date.
In a statement, a Queensland Police spokeswoman said: “A report will be prepared for the Coroner following the non-suspicious death of a man at Springbrook yesterday (Wednesday).”
Mr McCann was sacked from his job and had his accounts frozen after his arrest, a court was told on Monday.
