The boy, named by friends as Joe Abbess, had gone with friends to Bournemouth last Wednesday during half-term.
His family said they are ‘heartbroken and devastated’ at the loss of a ‘fabulous young man’ and ‘talented trainee chef’ who was enjoying a day at Bournemouth beach when he died.
The tragedy also claimed the life of 12-year-old Sunnah Khan, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, whose family paid a heartflet tribute to her as an ‘angel’.
