Overview
- Fletcher Beasley, a 21-year-old Queensland University of Technology student, died after falling from the Victoria Embankment in central London on June 25, 2026.
- Emergency services were called shortly after 2:00am and London Ambulance Service and specialist trauma teams attended but Beasley was pronounced dead at the scene.
- A London coroner has opened an inquest to determine the circumstances of his death and the Beasley family have said they will first allow the formal inquiry to proceed rather than immediately pursue private legal investigation.
- Friends and the wider community set up the Fletcher Beasley Fund to bring his body home, support those who were with him and to establish a charitable trust, with reported donations rising from tens of thousands to more than $100,000 across coverage.
- Beasley worked at a law firm while studying business and law, his father has travelled to the UK to repatriate his son, and the family says they are seeking answers while planning a memorial trust to help others in similar situations.
