A two-year-old girl whose father was killed when a family were swept off rocks and into the sea by a large wave has also died.

Mckayla Bruynius died at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children on Tuesday night, police said.

Her father Rudy Bruynius died following the incident at South Fistral Beach in Newquay on Friday afternoon.

Lisinda Bruynius, Mckayla's mother and Rudy's wife, said: "I am in disbelief at what has happened."

More on the incident, and other stories in Devon and Cornwall

The family of five, from Morden in south-west London, were on holiday in Cornwall when the accident happened.

They were on rocks at South Fistral Beach when Mr and Mrs Bruynius and Mckayla were washed into the sea by a large wave. Mckayla's two brothers managed to stay on the rocks and were rescued by coastguards.
 

We can all question why they were that near the sea or whether the choices that they made were sensible, but that poor woman...?

I can't even contemplate what she must be going through right now.

The cliche of "brings everything into perspective" is often used sarcastically, but I think this is an occasion wherein we all realise how fleeting things can be.



Terrible.
