The news of a tragic death has shaken the internet community with the recent passing of Lewis Stevenson, a British influencer who fell to his death while attempting to climb Spain's highest bridge. Lewis, who was only 26 years old, fell from the 630ft Castilla-La Mancha bridge in Talavera de la Reina on Sunday, leaving behind a devastated family and girlfriend.
Lewis's grandad Clifford Stevenson opened up about the family's grief, revealing that they had all tried to dissuade him from his latest stunt. He shared that Lewis was a thrill-seeker and loved to push the boundaries, often showcasing his daring feats on his Instagram page. From scaling New York skyscrapers to perching on metal beams in London, Lewis's love for "rooftopping" was evident to all who followed him.
Speaking from the family home in Derby, Mr. Stevenson expressed that Lewis did not do it for fame or fortune, but for the sheer pleasure of it. He was an adventurer at heart and will be deeply missed by his loved ones. The 26-year-old's death has also left a void in the hearts of his fellow daredevils, who took to social media to pay tribute to their friend.
Fellow rooftopper Louie_W1 shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, describing Lewis as the bravest, most caring, and funniest person he had ever known. He also fondly recalled their time together, full of thrilling moments and unforgettable memories. Another friend, Vil1iany, also expressed his admiration for Lewis's fearless mentality and promised to meet him again in another life.
Lewis was thought to have been with a 24-year-old friend at the time of his death, and according to sources, the friend is in shock but will not face any charges. The Talavera de la Reina Town Council has reiterated the strict prohibition against climbing the bridge, stating that it cannot be done under any circumstances.
The Castilla-La Mancha bridge, featuring 152 wire ropes, was opened in 2011 and cost millions to build. Despite its impressive structure, it was often referred to as the "bridge to nowhere" due to the lack of traffic it carried. In the past, there have been reports of young bloggers climbing the bridge and posting videos on social media, as well as two youngsters who attempted the same stunt in 2016.
Lewis's passing serves as a reminder of the dangers involved in extreme sports and the importance of safety precautions. He will be remembered as a fearless adventurer who lived life to the fullest and inspired many with his daring pursuits. Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and friends during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Lewis.
