She posted a follow-up TikTok video with the full story.

“I talked to him that night at midnight on the phone. It was really nice that we had hat conversation, obviously I didn’t know what was about to happen.
“I woke up the next morning and I text him just to say ‘Good morning, I love you. Hope you had a good time. Can’t wait to see you tonight.’
“He didn’t reply which I thought was a bit weird of him but I thought he was probably just a bit hungover and he’ll reply.
“But then a couple of hours went by and I still hadn’t heard from him and I thought: ‘Oh that’s strange’.

“Because it was getting late in the morning and I knew they should be leaving by now as they were checking out at 10. I could see his friends were still in the city on Snapchat.
“I honestly thought it was a hangover situation where maybe Matt had gone missing and they didn’t want to alert me because they didn’t want me to freak out.
“But I started to realise that something was really wrong.
“A couple more hours went by and I got a text from Matt’s brother to come to his house right now and I flew out the door.

“You kind of expect the worst, you don’t want to believe that they have died but your mind goes there straight away.
“It turned out there was police there and they informed us that Matt had passed away.
“What happened was where they were all staying there was a bank and he had walked down the bank to go to the toilet and he hadn’t realised that at the end of the bank it just dropped straight down and he misjudged it.
“We don’t know if he tripped or just walked off the edge but he was looking at his phone because his phone was left face up still playing.
“He just misjudged and went off the end and he fell. He died on impact.
“So it was a really horrific accident that none of us could have really prevented unfortunately.

“That was about eight months ago now. We’re all doing as well as we can be right now.
“But I do have a dark sense of humour which is a really big coping mechanism for me so. I know he wouldn’t find my TikTok too harsh.”
