Tributes have been paid to a “brave” 20-year-old from south London who died after jumping into the Thames to save a woman who fell from London Bridge.
Folajimi Olubunmi-Adewole, a former student at Peckham’s Harris Academy, entered the river shortly after midnight on Friday with another man after they witnessed the woman fall.
While the coastguard and marine units managed to rescue the woman and the other man, Folajimi’s body was found later that morning.
Sir Dan Moynihan, chief executive of the Harris Federation, told the Sunday Times: “This is incredibly sad news.
“The selflessness of this brave young man has cost him his life in trying to save the life of another.
