Wednesday, October 16, 2024 - The last words of a 26-year-old British influencer who plunged to his death while attempting to scale Spain’s tallest bridge has been revealed.
Lewis Stevenson fell from the 630ft Castilla-La Mancha
bridge in Talavera de la Reina, a 90-minute drive south-west of Madrid, on
Sunday, October 13.
His last words before he lost consciousness were, "Give
me a minute".
Office worker Savannah told MailOnline she
believes Lewis may have passed out and lost his grip on his way up the
landmark.
She said: "He didn’t just fall. He lost consciousness
because he wasn’t feeling well.
"His friend whom he was with sent me over his police
statement. He told his friend he wasn’t feeling well and he said, 'Shall we go
back down?'
"Lewis said, 'Give me a minute', and that’s when he
lost consciousness and slipped."
Lewis' partner Savannah Parker, 25, also revealed his last
words to her. She said they spoke for the final time as Lewis set off to scale
the bridge with another British rooftopper.
She said: "We spoke at half eleven and the last thing
he said to me was, 'Good night, I love you'."
Savannah said she and Lewis had been together for most of
the last decade and that he has been jetting off on death-defying stunts
"for at least five of those years".
"As much as it worries me, I don’t look into things
because I worry enough as it is, and I just let him do his thing and generally
he just comes back. This weekend he didn’t," she added.
"It is one thing to hear that he’s gone but it’s how
tragic it happened."
Lewis’s grandad Clifford Stevenson, 70. tragically revealed
the family "all tried to talk him out of" his latest stunt.
He told the Mail: "We all tried to talk him out of it.
We were always trying to talk him out of doing things but that was the way he
was.
"He loved doing it, always went out there believing
he’d be alright. He did what he did for his own pleasure. He did not get any
money for it – he was an adventurer."
Paying tribute on Instagram, fellow rooftopper Louie_W1
wrote: "Knowing you has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.
"And losing you is the greatest sadness of my life. No
amount of words on a stupid Instagram post will ever describe how much I miss
you.
"You will always be the bravest, most caring and funny
person I’ve ever known. I’m proud of every building, every rooftop, every
moment of our time together.
"My best friend, my brother. Rest easy, we’ll meet
again one day."
Another daredevil with the handle Vil1iany wrote:
"You’ve been a prominent figure to me for a while and your fearless
mentality will stick with me for the rest of my life.
“It was a pleasure to be considered one of your friends,
rest easy now brother, I’ll see you in another life.”
