Bethany Smith death: 'I cannot imagine how they are feeling'

An inquiry has been launched into how a teenager fell to her death on a luxury yacht in Jamaica.

Deckhand Bethany Smith, 18, of Denbighshire, was working up a mast of 196 ft (60m) luxury schooner Germania Nova, berthed in Port Antonio.

Yacht management company Hill Robinson, which charters the Germania Nova, has started an "immediate investigation".

Ms Smith left her home in Glyn-Dyfrdwy to sail around the world with her family 10 years ago in their yacht "Cape" along with her younger brother Bryn.

Family friend and Llangollen councillor Stuart Davies said the death had shocked the community in Denbighshire.
