Friends of Briton killed by helicopter blade in Greece dispute claim he was ‘talking on phone’

Fenton’s mother, Victoria, said the family had been left “completely devastated” by the loss of “the most wonderful boy”.

Speaking from her home in Tonbridge, Kent, she told MailOnline: “Jack and his friends had got a helicopter from Athens to Mykonos without any problems and so did the same again, they got a helicopter from Mykonos back to Athens.

“He had got off safely when it landed in Athens but for some reason went back behind the helicopter and it was the rear propeller which killed him. It was instant.

“He’d been out the night before but hadn’t had anything to drink all day yesterday except for water. He and his friends were all sober.”

Fenton was a former pupil of the £36,000-a-year Sutton Valence School in Maidstone, Kent, before he went on to study at Oxford Brookes University.

At the time of his death, he was a junior account executive at a social media marketing firm.

James Thomas, headmaster of Sutton Valence School, said: “Our school was very sad to hear the tragic news about Jack this morning.

“He was a very popular member of the community, and we have sent our condolences to the family.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the incident.”

A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Greece and are in contact with the local authorities.”

A statement from Fenton’s employer, Ball Street Network in London, told the BBC: “Our team is in shock having just found out about this tragic news.

“Our love and thoughts are with Jack’s family and friends.” Don't forget to subscribe to my channel and turn on notifications for such information.

That makes it even worse then.

At least if he was on the phone, you could argue he was distracted, but this was just a simple case of natural selection.

People are in shock because they lost someone, why do they need to find someone to blame ? Their friend/son made a stupid decision and paid it with his life. Don't destroy the lives of others thinking it will do you some good ! The pilot and technicians are innocents !

So sad and tragic..smh. I wonder why he would go anywhere near the tail of the helicopter...such an odd thing to do.
