Nick Cave's teenage son Arthur has died after falling from a cliff near Brighton.
Arthur Cave, 15, was identified by Sussex Police after a body was found at 6pm last night (July 14). The Argus reports that he was found on the underpass of Ovingdean Gap.
Members of the public reportedly carried out first aid on the teenager before he was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton where he died of his injuries.
The death is now being handled by the coroner's officer and is not being treated as suspicious. Friends reportedly gathered to pay tribute to Arthur at the nearby Ovingdean Undercliff Cafe.
His family are expected to make a statement later today.
The teenager is one of Cave's two sons with wife Susie Bick. He and his brother, Earl, both appeared in Cave's 2014 biopic 20,000 Days On Earth.
Earlier this year, Cave published a diary written on airplane sick bags.
The Sick Bag Song came out in June via Canongate. The book is comprised of notes made by the Bad Seeds frontman on the band's 2014 tour. "The Sick Bag Song chronicles Nick Cave's 2014 tour of North America with The Bad Seeds. The account of this 22-city journey began life scribbled on airline sick bags and grew into a restless full-length epic, seeking out the roots of inspiration, love and meaning," reads a statement.
