22YO Man Passes Away After Best Friend’s Prank Goes Horribly Wrong

Conner Groom and Ben Gardner were two young bricklayers from Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, whose work brought them close enough to become best friends.

The pair shared countless evenings and late nights, making the sort of memories that become precious with time.

On December 21, 2021, another evening together began without either man realizing it would be their last.

The tradesmen arrived at Topgolf for their office Christmas party, expecting nothing more than to kick off the holidays.
