A Place in the Sun star Laura Hamilton has issued a warning for people to be careful and that life is 'short' after witnessing a tragic death. The 44-year-old presenter took to Instagram to share her experience after seeing a young man die on the beach following a day of filming for the Channel 4 series.
Witnessing the Incident
Laura explained that she was taking a walk on the beach after filming had wrapped for the day when she noticed a lot of 'commotion'. She saw paramedics attempting to resuscitate a young man, believed to be 19 years old. Sadly, he died.
Laura revealed she had hardly slept due to her 'mind racing' as she took to Instagram. She continued: 'I can't begin to imagine what that poor boy's family are thinking and feeling this morning.'
Warning to the Public
She urged people to be mindful: 'Obviously lots of people are going on their summer holidays right now, so you know, just be really mindful when you're in the sea of currents, if you're letting your children go into the sea, even as a grown up going into the sea, just be careful.'
Laura added: 'But it was a kind of crazy thing to sort of see and witness and it just reminds us all that life is short.' On her story, she issued a plea to 'make the most of every minute and enjoy the people in it. No one knows what is around the corner'.
Heartfelt Message
In the caption she concluded: 'This isn't the post I imagined sharing on a Friday morning. Yesterday, I witnessed the tragic loss of a 19-year-old on the beach. My thoughts are with his family and friends, whose lives have been changed forever. It's a heartbreaking reminder of just how precious and fragile life is. Please cherish the people you love, never take time together for granted, and if you're heading to the coast, be careful in the sea. Take care of yourselves and each other.'
