The 15-year-old son of Australian singer Nick Cave, of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, has died after falling from a 60-foot cliff in the UK. Passersby came across Arthur Cave with life-threatening injuries yesterday on a path at the foot of the Ovingdean Gap in Brighton, about three miles from his family's home, reports the Guardian. He was taken to a hospital where he later died. His parents describe Arthur, who has a twin brother, as "our beautiful, happy, loving boy." His death isn't considered suspicious; a coroner is investigating. (More cliff fall stories.)
