Two British teenagers who died in a parasailing accident while on holiday in Greece have been named by their heartbroken family.

Jessica Lee Hayes, 15, and Michael Connelly, 13, were killed when they fell around 400ft onto a rock face in Rhodes on Wednesday.

The pair were parasailing with Michael’s 15-year-old brother James.

He survived the fall but is seriously ill and in an induced coma.

The horror is believed to have unfolded after a rope attaching the teens’ parachute to a speedboat snapped as they sailed off the fishing village of Lindos.
