Cam Shaw Cause of Death

British former boxing champion, Cam Shaw, died by drowning, on October 24, 2022, while snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

He was aged 25.

Shaw was on a holiday in Cairns, Queensland, in company of three of his friends, including his girlfriend when the incident occurred.

He was described as a “gregarious, helpful and convivial guy – who threw his all into everything he did.”

Shaw was a passionate swimmer. “I taught him to swim at Water World in York when he was aged two and a half and he reached up to nine out of a possible eleven levels”, his father, Rod had said.

Shaw holds an Amateur Boxing Elite 60kg title and won a gold medal at the Hivdovre Box Cup in Denmark in 2017.

Billy Wilson, head coach at the York Boxing club, where Shaw trained, said: “I knew Cam very well. He was a vibrant kid, full of beans, always joking and laughing, he was a good lad, a hard worker and lived his life to the fullest.”

Although, there are no suspicions attached to his death, but the Police are currently carrying out investigations.
