“You’re in the arms of angels now.”

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed to news.com they were providing consular assistance to the 18-year-old’s family.

“We offer our deepest condolences to the family,” the statement said.

Family friend Victoria Montano also wrote of Looker’s untimely death on social media saying he was a “wasted life” and “one taken too soon”.

“Asty was a complete juxtaposition — visually, a perfect face a jaw line that looked as if it was chiselled from marble, broad shoulders courtesy of countless hours of surfing,” Ms Montano wrote.

“It was his vulnerability that drew you in. His sensitivity. His creative mind which no doubt worked away all day at a million miles an hour.

“He wore his heart on his sleeve. On the occasions that we had time for a deeper conversation I always noted that he was able to express himself unlike any other male I knew. Asty was textured — he had depth.

“This juxtaposition of masculinity and vulnerability was capped off by his mother Amanda’s favourite thing about him. A finely tuned perfectly timed sense of humour. The ability to be witty and humble all at once. Not many could make you laugh like this young man.”
