Tuesday, July 8, 2025 - A teenager tragically
di£d after doing a backflip to celebrate moving out of his family home to start
a "new life".
Sonny Blundell, 18, had just moved from New South Wales to
Australia's Gold Coast with his girlfriend when tragedy struck on
June 24.
Australian media reported he was found
"unresponsive" by his best friend in their living room.
He was rushed to the hospital and admitted to intensive
care. He was placed into a medically induced coma ahead of undergoing brain
surgery.
A fundraising page set up by his family explained he had
suffered "multiple strokes" and a brain bleed requiring a
drain.
His older sister, Izabella Cromack-Hay shared a
heartbreaking update last Monday, June 30, confirming Sonny had di£d. She said
the family has been left "in disbelief and major pain", and the
GoFundMe donations will be used to bring his body home.
She wrote: "Our beautiful Sonny has grown his wings
and passed away 30/03/2007-30/6/2025. We are all in disbelief and
major pain. I ask everyone to still support our family as we need to bring
Sonny home as his sisters are waiting for him.
"We are all here in Queensland trying our hardest to
organize this horrible time and prepare ourselves. Please ask
to donate for Sonny's Mum, his sisters, family and Sonny's funeral.
Rest In Peace our Beautiful boy."
Izabella told Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph he
had only recently moved away "to start a new life with his
girlfriend."
She said: "Moving to Queensland only a month ago, which
was his greatest accomplishment, he worked the hardest concreting and
making himself known."
Izabella said her younger brother had FaceTimed her on the
day of the incident, and he was celebrating moving to Southport beach with his
best friend Mitchell Bullard when he did the backflip.
She said Sonny hit his head on the ground and went to bed
with a headache.
But when he woke up, he went to the toilet vomiting and then
passed out, Izabella said, which is when his best friend found him unresponsive
in the morning.
He was then taken to the hospital, where he sadly passed away
