A woman whose brother drowned in Bristol Harbour has issued a warning to those attending the Harbour Festival this weekend. Brooklyn Sheehan died in August 2019 at the age of 17, after jumping into the water near Prince Street Bridge to retrieve a football.
His sister Chloe Sheehan, 22, has spoken out about her brother's story to urge people not to be tempted to enter the water during the heatwave.
In a statement posted on social media, she said: "I have sat here everyday watching how it has broken not only me but everyone else who knew and loved him too for some of us it’s too painful to even hear his name at times and all of this we are going through is because of one split decision he made just three years ago next month.
