Putticks’ Funeral Has Taken Place
June 17, 2009
A funeral service has taken place for a couple from Wiltshire who jumped to their deaths at Beachy Head after their disabled son died.
Neil, 34, and Kazumi Puttick, 44, leapt from the cliff tops near Eastbourne, East Sussex, with the body of five-year-old Sam in a rucksack on 1 June.
The service for all three was held at All Saints Church in Westbury.
An inquest into their deaths was opened and adjourned by the Sussex coroner and a full hearing will be held later.
Sam’s body was found in the rucksack about 400ft down the cliffs, alongside his parents’ bodies, after coastguards on routine patrol first saw what they thought were two bodies part-way down the cliff face.
A second rucksack found nearby by rescuers was filled with toys.
