Man charged over Kurtis West's death Kurtis West's body was found on a road near Biloela. A MAN has been charged over the death of teen Kurtis West, whose body was found on the side of a road last week. Police will allege Mr West was a passenger on a motorcycle driven by a 28-year-old man when he was fatally injured. Mr West's body was found on Jambin-Dakenbah Rd just before 4am on January 10 and he died by the road despite medical assistance being given. The charges come just one day after the 18-year-old's family issued a public appeal for information. Mr West's sister Amber-Rose told The Courier-Mail her brother "did not deserve to leave." "He loved life and he was always there for his mates and family," she said. A 28-year-old Argoon man has been charged with one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death or grievous bodily harm and one count of leaving the scene of an incident without obtaining help. He has also been charged with three traffic-related offences. He is due to appear in Biloela Magistrates Court on January 29. A Facebook tribute page for Mr West says the teen's funeral will be held in Rockhampton on Friday.
