The pregnant widow of an Australian snowboarding champion has organised a private vigil for her boyfriend at the beach he drowned exactly a year ago.
Ellidy Vlug watched the sunrise with her Alex Chumpy Pullin s parents Chris and Sally at Palm Beach, Queensland, where he died while spearfishing on July 8, 2020.
Ms Vlug and her would-be in-laws were huddled together, supporting each other as they watched the sun come up at the water s edge while their dogs scampered on the sand on the anniversary of Pullin s tragic death.
