British teenager, 15, dies after 'falling from speedboat and becoming caught in propeller blades' in Greece

A British teenager has died after falling off a speedboat being driven by his father and hitting the propeller blades, according to reports.

Toby Finnett, 15, reported to be the son of Aon oil executive Paul Finnett, was killed off the Greek island of Paxos on Saturday.

The boat had run into rough seas about half a mile south of the island’s port town of Gaios, the Times reported.

The Finnett family, from Littlehampton in West Sussex, are currently living in Houston, Texas, where Mr Finnett works as a managing director for the energy company, according to the newspaper.

A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "Foreign Office staff are supporting the family of a British child following his death in Paxos."

He said staff are in contact with police in the area.
