A young woman’s mother said she’s in ‘total shock’ after her beach-loving daughter drowned just one day before her 28th birthday.
Lucinda McGrath was found unresponsive in the water at Bulcock Beach in Caloundra, north of Brisbane, at about 3.45pm on Sunday.
The 27-year-old was pulled from the water but tragically could not be revived.
Lucinda’s mother, Lynelle McGrath, said her free spirited daughter ‘loved the beach’ and regularly travelled from her Zillmere, north Brisbane, home to camp around the Sunshine Coast, Courier Mail reports.
She revealed Lucinda had headed to the beach on Sunday with a work colleague to celebrate her upcoming birthday.
A Surf Life Saving Queensland spokesperson said witnesses pulled the 27-year-old from the water before emergency services arrived.
‘Rest in Peace Lucy. Thank you for providing me with your free spirited vibes throughout high school,’ said one mourner on social media.
