Nick Cave's 15-year-old son dies in tragic cliff fall

The 15-year-old son of legendary singer-songwriter and musician, Nick Cave, has been confirmed dead after falling from cliffs at Ovingdean Gap in Brighton yesterday. 

Arthur Cave was found by members of the public 60ft below the clifftop with life threatening injuries, on the underpass of Ovingdean Gap at 6pm on Tuesday, July 14. He was airlifted to hospital, but tragically died later that evening from his injuries. His untimely death is not being treated as suspicious.

Nick and his wife, Susie Cave, paid tribute to Arthur in a statement: "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."
