Supul Jayasinghe's family claims he fell into the water from a rocky coastline in a matter of seconds.

Supul Jayasinghe had just finished his final exam at Memorial University and was ready to move on. The 21-year-old biology student and his family took a walk along the Flatrock coast on Wednesday evening to celebrate.

Don Jayasinghe said his son slipped on the rocks while chasing after the family dog Neo ended up in the water while his parents watched.

Jayasinghe remembered screaming, "No, don't go, boy, don't go there!"

Supul, shocked to find himself in the water, initially took the fall lightly, according to his father. "However, when he tried to come out, everything he hit slipped," Jayasinghe explained.

As the current swept him farther away from shore, his son tumbled in the waves.

"I was watching him and conversing with him. And all of a sudden, he realized how complicated it was. 'Dad, please support me,' he said "According to                                

His father almost fell into the water while attempting to throw the dog's leash to Supul. As darkness fell, his son seemed to float, treading water.

He disappeared ten minutes later. He's no longer here. Supul's family spoke frankly about it, expressing stoicism in the face of their loss.

"I'm a Buddhist, by the way. As a result, something happens for a cause. As a result, I still have the confidence to stand and talk to you "According to Jayasinghe.

Rescuers had not yet declared the operation a recovery mission as of Thursday afternoon. If it occurs, and a body is finally discovered, the family insists it will not change their feelings.

Jayasinghe said, "It does not return our son." "Our son is no longer with us."
