Footage from 2013 shows the final moments of 28-year-old James Cockle before he was sucked into a deadly whirlpool.

A horrifying video of the last moments of an award-winning photographer has gone viral online, over a decade after his untimely death.

Acclaimed photographer Jacob Cockle was just 28 when the video was shot in a bid to make a sensational piece of footage online.

Having won awards for his sea photography from the likes of National Geographic and The Sunday Times, Cockle was known for capturing the best shots possible by using increasingly dangerous tactics.

Described by those who knew him as a ‘daredevil’ who was obsessed with the ocean, Cockle found his calling in the water and taking pictures of surfers, boats and whirlpools.

"He made you believe magic existed"

The daredevil had just won a £28,000 expedition to Antarctica, a dream for him, when tragedy would strike just weeks later

Described by those who knew him as a ‘daredevil’ who was obsessed with the ocean, Cockle found his calling in the water and taking pictures of surfers, boats and whirlpools.


Over the years he gained high acclaim for his films and photos, notably capturing stunning 2011 images of two surfers being swept off a sea wall by 30ft waves and thrown into the sea.

In December 2008, he narrowly escaped death when he got trapped between a stone pier and an unexpected 30ft wave while surfing near Penzance, Cornwall.
