Arthur Cave, the 15-year-old son of iconic Australian musician Nick Cave, has died after falling from a cliff in Brighton, England.
"Our son Arthur died on Tuesday evening. He was our beautiful, happy loving boy. We ask that we be given the privacy our family needs to grieve at this difficult time," Cave and his wife, Susie Bick, said in a statement issued by Sussex Police.
The death is being dealt by the local coroner's officer and is not being treated as suspicious. “He died later that evening of his injuries in hospital. The death is not being treated as suspicious,” a spokesman said.
