The parents of a British tourist who was killed by a helicopter's spinning rotor blade in Greece have paid tribute to their 'absolutely wonderful' and 'caring' son.
Jack Fenton, 22, was struck when he walked behind a helicopter while its engine was still engaged in Athens in July.
He had been returning from a holiday in the popular tourist destination of Mykonos with several friends.
Jack's parents, Miguel and Tori Fenton, were expecting him home that night and had left the back door open with food in the fridge but were instead woken up by police knocking at the front door.
Greek investigators had said the Oxford Brooks student ran back on to the tarmac after safely disembarking so he could take a selfie, despite warnings from ground crew, and accidentally ran into a whirring blade.
Though the claims have since been withdrawn and there is now an ongoing inquiry into the Oxford Brookes Student's death.
Miguel and Tori say that safety protocols weren't followed by the helicopter company.
Speaking to ITV News they said how they miss their 'gorgeous-hearted' son.
