The Somali Australian Council of Victoria said Jama's father, Dada, received a text message and phone call on Monday to say his son had died.
Dada Jama told SBS he believed the news when he tried to call his son's phone and it went straight to voicemail.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has not confirmed the death, saying its capacity to do so is extremely limited.
