Sadly, an 18-year-old died in a strange acc!dent as he was out celebrating with his family and friends.
Sonny’s older sister, Izabella Cromack-Hay, told The Daily Telegraph that moving to Queensland only a month ago was his biggest achievement. He worked the hardest at concreting and making himself recognized.

Sonny was enjoying his new beginning with his best friend, Mitchell Bullard, on June 23. He tried to do a backflip in the living room of his new apartment.
He had a headache as he tried to do it, and he hit his head.
He woke up, threw up in the bathroom, and then passed out. Cromack-Hay told The Daily Telegraph that his best friend discovered him comatose in the morning.
On June 24, Sonny’s roommate found him unresponsive and sent him to the Queensland Hospital Intensive Care Unit. There, he fell into a coma while “battling a brain injury.”
Cromack-Hay said on a GoFundMe page put up to help with Sonny’s medical bills and rehab that the first 24 hours were the most important since he almost died after suffering many strokes and another hemorrhage that required a drain in his head.
There is a lot of doubt about whether or not Sonny will make it. He’s doing his best because there is a chance of recovery and rehabilitation.
Sonny died from his injuries on June 30, just a week after the acc!dent.
Cromack-Hay sent a devastating update on the GoFundMe website saying that our precious Sonny has grown his wings and died. We are all in shock and a lot of agony.
“I ask everyone to keep helping our family,” she said. “We need to bring Sonny home because his sisters are waiting for him.” We are all doing our best to get ready for this awful period in Queensland.
Madeline Blundell, his mother, said on Facebook about how sad she was: “I’ll bring you home my boy, my love, my soul, and my heart.” My best buddy, the one I can laugh and weep with. I miss you so much, my love.
The GoFundMe page has gathered almost $16,000, which will be used to pay for Sonny’s burial and bring his body back to New South Wales.
