"He looked so happy, he had a smile on his face, it seemed like a nice day", commented by showing the picture before the sudden fall.

A few minutes after taking this picture, Gavin sent her to her parents. Noticing that he was not so close to the edge and seeing that there were a lot of people around him, they never imagined that their son was in danger. However, the young man lost balance and fell to the sea.

The teenager had traveled to Australia in July of last year. After the accident, his friends were shocked and they could not locate his body until he called the desperate police.

Immediately, a helicopter moved to the cliff and the group of rescuers found it in the water. When they took her to the mainland, it was too late: Galvin was dead instantly.

As soon as the news was confirmed, the young man's parents published a heartbreaking message on social networks. "With deep sorrow and broken hearts, we announce that our son is leaving this earth to go home with his heavenly Father. He was a great example for us all. Galvin was a brilliant light in our lives "they wrote in shock.
