A 17-year-old Fiji born teenager has passed away after being swept away at the Cascade Falls in Waitakere, New Zealand.
Sosiveta Turagaiviu who is a student at Massey High School was among a group of five friends who got in trouble at the Cascade Falls in the Waitakere Ranges after a sudden downpour in the area on Saturday.
New Zealand Herald say that emergency services were called to the scene after a report at 5.15pm that three people had been swept away in a nearby river.
The bodies of Sosi and schoolmate Mitch Woolley, also 17, was later recovered.
New Zealand Herald say Massey High School will hold special assemblies for both young men tomorrow and students will be offered support from guidance counsellors.
