this is so sad

taken from the gazette website

A MAN, woman and young boy whose bodies were found at the foot of Beachy Head in East Sussex on Sunday evening were a family from near Trowbridge, the Wiltshire Times understands.

The body of the five-year-old boy was found inside a rucksack along with a second rucksack filled with toys, including a tractor and soft toys.

It is believed the young boy was already dead at the time his parents leapt from the clifftop at the popular beauty spot.

The identities of the three people have not yet been confirmed, but they are thought to have lived on a farm near Trowbridge. It is thought the family drove the 100 miles from the county to Eastbourne as part of a suicide pact.

The bodies, which were found on a ledge 400ft down, were brought to the summit of the South Downs beauty spot and taken to Eastbourne District General Hospital for a post mortem examination.

A silver Volkswagen camper van was recovered from a roadside car park about 200 yards from the cliff edge and taken to Eastbourne for forensic examination.

Sussex Police sad the deaths were not being treated as suspicious but said they were ‘keeping an open mind until the full facts have been established’

This morning Chief Insp Dick Coates said police knew the identities of the family, but had not yet talked to their next of kin.

"Later today we will be able to clarify the circumstances fully," he said.

"But I need to do what is right with the relatives first."

Names of Beachey Head death plunge family revealed


By charley morgan »


The identities of a Wiltshire family whose bodies were found at Beachy Head in East Sussex on Sunday have been confirmed this lunchtime.

Neill and Kazumi Puttick, who lived at Wishing Well Farm, opposite Brokerswood Country Park, in Brokerswood, between Trowbridge and Westbury, leapt off a 600ft cliff with the body of their severely disabled five-year-old son, Sam, inside one rucksack and another rucksack filled with his toys.

Sam, who was a pupil at Westbury Leigh Primary School and who had been paralysed from the neck down in a car accident when he was 18-months-old, had died at home after contracting meningitis.

His parents had spent thousands of pounds converting their picturesque home into a minature hospital for Sam, who required 24-hour care from a team of highly trained nurses.

He was unable to breathe by himself and was fed with oxygen but had a specially adapted wheelchair that he steered by blowing through an air tube.

Friends of the family, Sue and Barry Capon, who own Brokerswood County Park, said they were shocked and devastated at the news of his death.

No it has nothing to with the authorities.

In a way i can comprehend and understand why they did it, having kids of my own.
