"When he didn't come home, my parents were pretty worried," Prasad's older brother Jay told the New Zealand Herald. Jay didn't believe his father when he was first told of his brother's death. He was fascinated by it, he always wanted to become a pilot," Jay said. Jay said his brother would be remembered as a kind-hearted and selfless young man who touched many people with his unique outlook on life. They said the man's death "is not being treated as suspicious and there is nothing to suggest the involvement of anyone else at this time".
