Emergency services received a call at 6.41pm that day.
Mr Sullivan had departed from his Maida Vale residence just two hours earlier, carrying newly purchased camera equipment and telling his father he would return for dinner.

PAThe park had been busy with visitors taking advantage of warm weather in the days after Easter.
Mr Sullivan’s father, Christopher, an artist and musician, told the Mail: “I’m so broken-hearted, I can’t believe it.
“He was the most beautiful, lovely, outgoing, loving boy. He was just a really lovely person.
“We were just about to start a company together… he was going to do his showreel today with me. And now he’s dead.”
