While the incident happened in December, the heartbreaking details did not emerge until an inquest on Wednesday into her untimely death, North Wales Live reported. The tragedy happened on December 19, 2021, while 47-year-old Victoria Naomi Luck from the United Kingdom was hiking with her partner Matthew Radnor and their dog in the Snowdonia National Park in Wales, according to the inquest. The site’s overflow pool has amassed nearly 90 million viral video views on a series of TikTok clips. Luck’s bestie had taken her to Snowdonia as a Christmas present last year after they met that summer and “hit it off straight away”. A mother-of-two has died in a tragic 150-foot fall while searching for a “secret” tourist attraction she first saw on TikTok. The sheltered infinity pool is located on the highest peak in England and Wales. News Service Wales The mother-of-two reportedly became interested in visiting a hidden swimming hole near Llanberis Pass. “I saw the infinity pool on TikTok and I showed it to her, she was really excited and thought it looked amazing, so we decided to go,” Radnor explained during the hearing. Originally built by a farmer in 2016 as a green energy project, the secluded site has since become a tourist attraction, attracting visitors from across the UK, according to Wales Online. Unfortunately, Radnor and Luck’s pilgrimage to the pool turned disastrous after the lovebirds, who had no map or navigation on their phones, got lost on the infamous Crib Goch ridge while trying to find it, the inquest heard. “There were no established footpaths in the area and this was not a known route down Crib Goch,” coroner Sarah Riley told the inquest. At that point, the pair split up, with Luck scrambling up a gully while Radnor decided to descend via a route that was easier on the dog, per NWL. That was the last time he saw his beloved as several minutes later she plummeted 150 feet to her death, ITV reported. Radnor explained that he had heard his lover “scream” but did not see the actual plunge. Fearing the worst, the distraught colleague tried to alert the authorities but to no avail. “I called 999 on my mobile but my battery ran out when I went to Mountain Rescue,” who thankfully managed to rescue a number of hikers in the area. A Coast Guard rescue helicopter then arrived on the scene, where they located and boarded Ms Luck. However, she sadly succumbed to her injuries before 3pm that day. “Victoria Naomi Luck died of multiple injuries due to a fall from a height,” explained Riley, who attributed her death to “accident.” Luck’s family has since been paying tribute to the late teacher. “Vicki had a large circle of friends and was a mentor to others,” said her father, Gordon Victor Luck. “She was always helping others and her home was always open to those who needed her.” He added: “He will be and is so sadly missed by all.” This is not the first time someone has gotten lost while hiking slowly. In one of a series of similar incidents, Richard Jacobson, 21, died earlier this year after falling about 400 to 700 feet from an Arizona mountaintop while taking a photo.
