Luke's Law to end filming tragedies

Family hit out at onlookers who failed to help

THE heartbroken family and friends of a man who drowned want the filming of tragic events to be outlawed.

Luke Hyde died after getting into difficulty after swimming across the river from Pope's Quay to Lavitt's Quay in Cork last Wednesday.

His pal made it across the channel but Luke got into difficulty as he neared the quay wall and disappeared beneath the surface.

Some onlookers began recording and live-streaming the tragedy.
