|Express and Echo
THE son of a woman who died while skydiving said she was “just trying something new” when his family lost her - while he and his father both said they wanted answers.
Mother-of-four Belinda Taylor, 48, from Totnes, and instructor Adam Harrison, 30, from Bournemouth, died after jumping from a plane over Dunkeswell Aerodrome, near Honiton, at about 1pm on Friday, June 13.
Belinda’s son Elias Baaklini, 20, told the PA news agency: “She was a very caring woman, always supporting no matter what it was.
“She didn’t care as long as you were happy, we all loved her a lot and she will be very missed.
“She was a very positive woman as well, she liked to do exciting things so it’s just a tragedy that she went off to have fun, do something she'd never done before, experience something new and we lost her.”
Elias said he was in Exeter with his two older brothers on Friday to celebrate one of their birthdays.
