- University student Fletcher Beasley died after a fall in London last month.
- An online fundraiser for his family has already raised over $110,000.
- A charitable trust in his name will support others facing hardship.
The family of Fletcher Beasley, a 21-year-old university student from Brisbane, has been overwhelmed by support after his sudden death in London last month. Beasley tragically fell from a height on June 25 along Victoria Embankment.
Paramedics attempted to save him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. His family initially considered a private investigation but will now allow the London coroner to conduct an inquest into the circumstances of his death.
Beasley was a dedicated student pursuing a business and law degree at QUT and a former student of Brisbane Boys' College. Colleagues and his former school community have expressed deep sadness.
An online fundraiser launched for the Beasley family has garnered significant donations, exceeding $110,000. The funds will assist the family, aid in bringing Fletcher's body home, and establish a charitable trust in his name to support others.
His parents described Fletcher as deeply generous and community-minded, noting his absence leaves an immeasurable void but his positive influence will endure.
