Bropho was found unresponsive in his Hakea Prison cell on the morning of March 9.
He was set to be sentenced for abducting a young girl from a Doubleview park and taking her back to his house, where he kissed her and tried to perform a sex act.
Martin previously made clear his hatred for child abusers.
