Father of British doctor killed in Nepal plane crash 'had premonition' his son would be killed
left Jeremy Taylor
The father of a young British man killed in a plane crash in Nepal last August had pleaded with him not to take the flight after having an errie premonition of the tragedy.
Jeremy Taylor, a 31-year-old natural medicine doctor based in Cape Town, was among 14 passengers and crew killed when their plane crashed in poor weather in the foothills in the Himalayan mountains.Mr Taylor was “living his dream,” when he died, his father Trevor Taylor said at the time.
Mr Taylor from Torquay, in Devon, said his son had been travelling the world on a gap year, but was determined to reach Mount Everest base camp to prepare for a full attempt on the world’s highest peak next year.
“He was living his dream, but we were very worried. The last conversation I had with him was just two days before he took the flight. I’d had an awful premonition he would be killed in a plane crash. I said, ' Please don’t take the flight, the weather is bad’. He said 'Dad, I need to do this.’
"I begged him not too but he felt I was just being a typical worried parent. And sadly what I'd forsee came into being."
Mr Taylor said his son had spent the year trekking in South America and touring the Far East before arriving in Nepal to hike the Annapurna mountain circuit and build up his climbing skills for attempts on Mount Kilimanjaro and Everest next year.
He had left his Natural Medicine Clinic practice in Cape Town for a gap year, his father said, but was planning to return to it after his trip to the Everest base camp.
Mr Taylor spoke with pride of his son’s academic achievements — he had been awarded his doctorate by Archbishop Desmund Tutu — and his voluntary work in community radio and as a lifeguard and life-saving training officer with the Sea Rescue Helicopter service.
“We all miss him, but he was living his dream. We hope his spirit will live on in further adventures." Mr Taylor said.
