A young man who was killed after being struck by a helicopter blade while on holiday in Greece has been named as a former Kent schoolboy.
Jack Fenton, 22, died after walking behind the Bell 407 chopper which had landed in Athens after he and his friends had been in Mykonos.
Local Greek media Open TV has claimed the former Maidstone schoolboy, who attended Sutton Valence boarding school, was taking a selfie when he was hit on the head by the rotor.
His parents, including The Hop Farm's head of marketing and PR Miguel Fenton, have paid tribute to their "wonderful boy".
The Hop Farm has declined to comment on the matter.
His mother Victoria, speaking from her home in Tonbridge, told the MailOnline how the family are 'completely devastated' by the loss of their 'wonderful boy'.
Emergency services were called to the scene but it is thought the young man was killed instantly.
The pilot who had landed and witnessed the incident radioed to his colleague and warned him of what had transpired.
The pilot of the second chopper diverted from the private airport on the outskirts of the Greek capital and made an unscheduled landing at Athens International Airport.
Police are now investigating why Mr Fenton was allowed to leave the aircraft while the rotors were still spinning, given they usually tend to continue rotating for around two minutes after the engine is switched off.
The pilot and two airport officials have appeared before a prosecutor today, testifying over the potential charges of negligence.
It is understood the three being questioned have now been released without charges, as the prosecutor's investigation must first be completed into the causes of the incident before any charges are sought.
Greek investigators have said he had left the helicopter with his three friends but after disembarking, it is believed he returned without escort to the tarmac where the helicopter was still running.
Mr Fenton's friends who are all in their 20s also gave statements before returning to the UK and one has told the MailOnline Mr Fenton was not using his phone at the time to take a 'selfie' as reported in some Greek coverage of the story.
Daisy Fenton, Jack's 20-year-old sister, also rubbished claims he was on his phone.
The University of Manchester student told the national site: "This was Jack's first ever helicopter ride. So you can imagine how cautious and wary, if anything, he was.
'Jack was a very popular member of the community...'
"All the rest, of him running back on the tarmac and violating protocols, is rubbish.
"Why? Because there were no protocols. They were never told what to do and what not to."
Sutton Valence head teacher James Thomassaid: "Our School was very sad to hear the tragic news about Jack this morning.
"Jack was a very popular member of the community, and we have sent our condolences to the family.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the incident."
The President of the Union of Police Officers of Southeast Attica George Kaliakmanis told MailOnline: "To my knowledge the type of helicopter Bell 407 doesn't lock from the inside.
"So now the investigation will focus on the safety measures taken from the pilot. Did he tell them to wait or not?
"There are two propellers on the helicopter. One that operates on 500 turns/second and one that operates at 2500 turns/second.
"These propellers run for about 2 minutes from the time he turns the engine off unless he presses a button which stops them at 50 seconds. Also keep in mind that the propellers are not visible because of the speed."
