Scott Seddon, A British man has died after he was reportedly hit by lightning while paddleboarding in Greece.
Scott Seddon was filmed laughing and joking with a close friend as he emerged from the sea – just minutes before he was struck by lightning and killed.
The keen sportsman, 26, died after being hit by a bolt of lightning shortly after emerging from the water during what appeared to be clear weather over the Greek island of Rhodes.
The video shows Scott full of life, athletic and clearly very happy – and gives no hint that he was in any apparent danger with an earlier storm seeming to have passed.
It was released to MailOnline by his devastated family who want it made public to show that Scott had left the sea when the incident happened and was not acting in any way recklessly.
Scott’s heartbroken mother said he had been having ‘the time of his life’ before his tragic death in the freak accident on Monday afternoon, when, she said, ‘God just decided to take him’.
Initial reports from Greece had suggested that Scott died while out to sea during an electrical storm at Agia Agathi as his close friend Anna Vidamour, 24 begged him to come in.
