An un­cle of teenag­er Em­manuel Williams, who drowned at Clifton Hill Beach on Fri­day, is urg­ing sea bathers to ex­er­cise cau­tion when vis­it­ing the na­tion’s beach­es.

Em­manuel had gone to the beach with friends aged 17, 18 and 23. The youngest mem­ber of the group told po­lice that at around 1.25 pm they were div­ing off rocks when Em­manuel en­coun­tered dif­fi­cul­ty in the wa­ter.
