Colts family deeply saddened by boy’s death

The boy, 8, has been identified as Cairo Winitana, who was holidaying with his family on the west coast of Fiji’s main island.
The child was found by another guest at the resort and was later pronounced dead at hospital.
Cairo’s mother, Amber De Thierry, who is a New Zealand national, shared a tribute on Facebook.
“I loved you my son from the moment I found out I was carrying you and will love you forever more my beautiful beautiful blue eyes,” she wrote.
Cairo’s extended family set up the GoFundMe page to support the cost of travel expenses and the funeral service.
“[Cairo’s parents] now have the heartbreaking job of bringing their son home from Fiji and laying him to rest at home in Australia,” a family member wrote.
“We want to be able to help take a load off them both while they grieve the loss of their son.”
Cairo’s junior rugby league club, the Milperra Colts, have described Cairo as a “shy, tough little kid who loved his footy”.
“The Milperra Colts Family are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of Cairo Winitana who has been a member of the Colts Family since 2021,” they wrote on Facebook.
“Once a Colt … Always a Colt. Rest in Love, Cairo.”
