Mehraab Nazir, 49, was killed in a landslide along with his nine-year-old son while bushwalking in the Blue Mountains. Two other family members are in a critical condition in hospital.
The father crushed to death in a freak landslide in the NSW Blue Mountains was a high-flying finance lawyer based in Singapore who was on holiday with his family.
His wife, Ana Nazir, 50, and their 14-year-old son remain in a critical condition in hospital after undergoing emergency surgery for serious head and abdominal injuries. "I don't know where we are," she told the operator, before a massive emergency operation unfolded in dense bushland.Mr Nazir and his family moved from London to Singapore more than 10 years ago when he became a partner of law firm, Watson Farley and Williams.
Anya Panthaky posted a message on the Zoroastrian Association of NSW Facebook page, describing their deaths as an "immense tragedy"."A number of you have reached out… offering to help and we thank you," she said.
