A grieving father has paid tribute to his seven-year-old daughter who tragically passed away at a golf course. Nyla May Bradshaw was discovered in a pond at Owston Hall golf course in Doncaster following an extensive search and rescue effort. Nyla, reported missing on Monday morning, prompted a deployment of specialized resources including drones and police aircraft to aid in the search.
Kieran Bradshaw, Nyla’s father, expressed his deep sorrow in a heartfelt tribute posted on Facebook, describing Nyla as his cherished “best friend” and an “extraordinary daughter.” He reminisced about their shared moments, highlighting Nyla’s infectious presence and the void her absence has left in their lives.
A fundraising campaign on GoFundMe has been initiated to assist the family with funeral expenses. The fundraiser emphasizes Nyla as a beloved child, revealing she was autistic and non-verbal, and tragically drowned while not under parental care.
In a statement, a spokesperson for South Yorkshire Police confirmed the unfortunate incident, stating that despite the efforts of emergency services, the child was found deceased in the golf course pond. The family has been notified and is receiving support from authorities during this difficult time.
The community has been deeply affected by the loss of Nyla, prompting an outpouring of support and sympathy for her family.
