Arabic version: عائلة ناتاشا لوتون تنعى ابنتها بعد سقوط مميت في أديلايد
According to ABC News, Natasha Lawton’s family is grieving after she died in a fall near the corner of Hindley and Morphett streets in Adelaide’s CBD in the early hours of Sunday, November 1. Emergency services were called to the area about 4:10am.
In a statement released by SA Police on behalf of her parents and sister, Ms Lawton was remembered as a talented pianist and figure skater who “loved life and lived every minute”. Her family described her death as a “tragic and out-of-character” accident while she was celebrating Halloween.
Ms Lawton had been studying to become a primary school teacher and was in her second year of university on a high achiever scholarship. Her parents said she was studious and excelled academically, and that she had an amazing future ahead of her.
Her family said she enjoyed travel, skiing, and spending time with relatives and friends. She had been working two jobs, with the NDIS and in hospitality, to fund an upcoming trip to Japan. Her parents, who are long-term SA Police employees, thanked first responders, including a man who first rendered assistance to their daughter.
Tributes have been left outside the Rosemont Hotel. The family said they were grateful for the support offered by relatives and Ms Lawton’s friends, who had also rallied around her sister.
