High-profile advocate for child sexual abuse victims, Anthony Foster, has reportedly died after suffering a major stroke.

Mr Foster, who became a tireless advocate after his daughters were raped by a priest, is believed to have died on Friday evening after falling and hitting his head, media are reporting.

Mr Foster and his wife Chrissie shared their torment to the media and the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

His daughters, Emma and Katie, were traumatised by the sexual abuse they suffered at the hands of pedophile priest Kevin O’Donnell at their Melbourne school between 1988 and 1993.
