They were supposedly taking turns leaping from the bridge right into the river listed below – an area preferred with travelers.

Joshua, who relocated to Brisbane from the Wirral, finished one dive and returned to the bridge momentarily effort.

But he shed his equilibrium while going across the barrier, struck his head and dove right into the water.

After he fell short to surface area, his buddies began an agitated search prior to getting in touch with emergency situation rescue solutions at 1am.

His body was discovered at around 6am on Sunday.

A GoFundMe web page stated Joshua “was in a happy place smashing life with his Aussie tribe and his loving girlfriend, Becca”.

It stated: “He passed happy and loving life and always living up to his motto ‘here for a good time not a long time’.

“Josh lived for his buddies and gorgeous family members.

“He loved finding the joy and passion in everything, he completely embodied music and dancing, both were in his blood, he danced first and thought later.”

Pal Jimmy Allen explained the Brit as a “special person”.

He composed on social networks: “I can’t put into words how special a person you were and how you lit up every room.

“You constantly desired the very best for every person and made every person really feel so, so unique.

“I’ll always be thinking of you my brother and will always have a special place in my heart. I’ll see you on the other side.”

Another close friend stated Joshua’s fatality was “heartbreakingly tragic”.

His friends and family are currently increasing cash to repatriate his body to the UK.

They stated: “Our heartfelt plea is for your support in helping us repatriate Josh from Brisbane to the UK and return to his home, the Wirral.

“Your kindness will certainly bring convenience to his family members and enjoyed ones. Together we can bring him home.”

Joshua’s funeral will be held at Landican Crematorium in Birkenhead. 

After searching for six hours, the police were able to recover Joshua’s body using sonar assistance.

Leaping from the landmark is popular among tourists – despite warnings from local cops.

In February, the local council said jumping was ‘”purely forbidden” due to construction work beneath the bridge.

Noosa Council CEO Larry Sengstock said the incident was a “awful suggestion” of why people shouldn’t jump from the bridge.

“The case is a terrible suggestion concerning the threats of bridge leaping,” Sengstock told Yahoo News Australia.

“Our ideas are with his enjoyed ones throughout this tough time.”
