‘Our perfect boy’: Family’s tribute after Brisbane law student Fletcher Beasley’s death in London

An Australian family has been left heartbroken after their 21-year-old “perfect boy” fell to his death in London,

The London coroner will investigate the death of Brisbane law student Fletcher Beasley who died when he fell from the Victoria Embankment about 2am on June 25.

The area is a 2km scenic walk along the northern bank of the River Thames in central London that passes many of the city’s famous landmarks.

Police told UK media the London Ambulance Service reported a man in his 20s died after he fell from a height.

“Despite the best efforts of paramedics, the man died at the scene,” police said.

Mr Fletcher’s devastated family are seeking answers and have established the Fletcher Beasley Fund to which has raised more than $108,000 as of Friday.

The fund will also be used to support others “facing similarly difficult situations”.

“The fund will support the ongoing investigation into Fletcher’s death and support the Beasley family and close friends to help rebuild their lives and to bring Fletcher home,” friends of the Beasley and McMullen families said.

“Just as Fletcher would have wanted to help and support others, this fund has been established to support Fletcher’s friends who were with him in London at the time.”

His parents Katrina and Matt Beasley said their son was deeply loved and cherished by all who knew him.

“He was at the centre of our close and loving family with siblings Sam and Holly,” they said.

“He was our perfect boy.

“Fletcher shared a beautiful relationship with his long-term partner Angelina and made the most of life with the people that he loved.

“Funny, loyal, curious about the world, and always full of warmth, he lived a balanced life, playing sport, running, travelling and having fun.

“As a fourth-year Business and Law student Fletcher worked at a law firm, was ambitious and had a bright future ahead of him surrounded by his wide and loyal circle of friends.”

They said it was impossibly unfair that he had been taken too soon, but lived a beautiful life.

“His loss leaves an immeasurable absence, but his warmth, kindness and love will continue to shape the lives of all who were lucky enough to know him,” they said.
