Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakapuakihia e te hoa wahine pouri o te taiohi o Gold Coast i mate i te Rāhoroi tetahi o nga wa o muri i noho tahi ai te tokorua. I whakairihia e Tarsha Wild, 18, tētahi karere kuputuhi i tukuna e tana hoa rangatira a Sam Brown, 19, i mua i tana matenga pouri. 'Ka kōrero atu au ki a koe i muri ake nei. E aroha ana ahau ki a koe mō ake tonu atu, ā, e mihi nui ana ahau ki a koe!!!' Ka mea a Mr Brown, i roto i tētahi karere a Ms Wild i tāngia ki te ipurangi. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko Sam Brown, 19, rāua ko Tarsha Wild, 18, e toru tau e noho tahi ana i mua i tana matenga kino i roto i tētahi tūtukitanga ngaru i te Rāhoroi. I kii a Ms Wild i 'whakakahoretia' ia e te matenga o Mr Brown, a ko ia te 'aroha o (ana) oranga' I kii a Ms Wild he 'whakawhetai ia mo nga maharatanga whakamiharo katoa' i tohaina e ia ki a Mr Brown. I haere tahi te pikitia me te kupu a Ms Wild: 'Kei te ngana ahau ki te kaha i taku tamaiti e oati ana engari i tenei wa e hiahia ana ahau kia taea e koe te korero mai ki ahau ka pai nga mea katoa, a koinei katoa he momo moemoea kino; Kei te mihi ahau ki a koe, e aroha ana ki a koe, e te peepi.' I korero ia ki a Daily Mail Ahitereiria i mua atu i te mate o 'te aroha o tona oranga me te hoa pai'. I kii a Ms Wild ko te wa whakamutunga i korero ai raua ko te 1am i te ata o te Rahoroi i te wa i wehe atu ai a Mr Brown i te kaainga. I mate a Mr Brown i a ia e ruku ana ki te raki o Moreton Island me ētahi hoa. I whakataetae rātau ki a rātau anō kia kite ko wai e taea te ruku hohonu rawa, i te wā i hemo ia i te 15m i raro i te wai, e ai ki ngā pūrongo. Ko te karere pouri i tukuna e Mr Brown ki Ms Wild, i tukuna e ia ki te ipurangi i te ata o te Mane. I rere ngā hoa ki raro neke atu i te 30 mita ki te whakahoki mai i tō rātau hoa, ā, i ngana ki te whakaora i a Mr Brown. Kāore i taea te whakaara i a ia. I hopukina te whakamātautau whakaora i runga i ngā kāmera GoPro i mau ai ngā hoa katoa. Ko te Pirihimana o te Pirihimana Wai, ko Shaun Harrison, i kii ko ana hoa i eke ki tua atu i nga rohe o te tangata noa hei whakaora i a raatau hoa. 'Kua whakahaerehia e rātau ētahi mahi a rātau ake... ki te hopu i a ia, ki te whakahoki mai i a ia ki te mata,' ka mea a Sgt Harrison. Ko Chad Collins, tētahi o ngā hoa o Mr Brown, i mea ko tana 'hoa pai' i 'whanau ki...
I mate te taiohi o Gold Coast a Sam Brown i muri i tana hinganga i a ia e ruku ana. I kite ōna hoa i a ia e horomia ana i a ia e hī ika ana ki te raki o Moreton Island. I heke ia ki te 30m ki te papa moana i mua i te wa i ruku ai nga hoa ki te whakaora ia ia. Ko te hoa wahine e pouri ana i te 'aroha o tona oranga me te hoa pai' E mea ana te whānau ko Brown, 19 tau te pakeke, he 'tino whakamiharo, he tino pai'
