Mum will 'never get over' losing son who drowned on family holiday

A mum of two who lost one of her sons in a tragic incident 10 years ago has said she will 'never get over' losing her child.

Leah Hunt, from the Wirral, lost her 15-year-old son Sam when he fell into the sea after being hit by a large wave on a family holiday in Swansea. He was with his brother Lewis, 21 at the time, who bravely fought to rescue Sam from the water.

Sadly, Sam was pronounced dead at the hospital after the brothers were winched out of the water by teams from the RNLI. Leah, who works for the British Transport Police, told the ECHO that she is forever grateful to the RNLI for saving her Lewis, and to Lewis for being there so 'Sam wasn't alone' in his final moments.
