'Cautious' swimmer, 15, died after jumping off pier
A 15-year-old "cautious" swimmer died after jumping off a pier in South Wales, an inquest has heard.
David Chiaka Ejimofor died on 19 June 2023 after getting into difficulty in the water at Aberavon Beach, Neath Port Talbot. His parents have previously called for safety changes in light of their son's death, telling Sky News that David was a "very kind, lovely, brave boy".
At Monday's inquest hearing, Edward Ramsay, assistant coroner for Swansea Neath Port Talbot, read out two statements by David's mother Maria Ejimofor, in which she described him as "a bright and curious soul who always had a smile on his face". Mrs Ejimofor said her son had a passion for sport and also "excelled in his school work".
She said David had "average swimming ability" and that it was "out of character" for him to jump in the water. David's mother added that her son was a "cautious" swimmer, and was "able to swim.
