Nick Cave's son dies following cliff fall
Arthur Cave, 15, passed away after plunging from Brighton chalk cliff
Tragic news has broken this morning as the 15 year old son of Nick Cave has died following a fall from a cliff.
Arthur Cave was found by walkers on a coastal path, some 60ft below the clifftop from which he fell. Members of the public attempted to perform first aid before the boy was airlifted to a nearby hospital.
The musician, along with his wife Susie, paid tribute to their son in a short statement confirming his death. “Our son Arthur died on Tuesday evening. He was our beautiful, happy, loving boy. We ask that we be given the privacy our family needs to grieve at this difficult time.”
