A 23-year-old who died at sea on a first date will ‘never stop exploring’ after his sister travelled to the arctic circle to spread his ashes.
Haydn Griffiths disappeared into the River Mersey on what should have been a joyous first date. Haydn, from Lowton, Wigan, died after being swept up in the waters of New Brighton beach in Wallasey, Merseyside on July 19.
Family members, who say he was a strong swimmer, believe a jellyfish sting he suffered earlier in the evening may have affected his ability to stay afloat. Haydn's body was found four days later - on July 23 - at Pier Head.
