Kiwi photographer dies in India
Last updated 15:55 22/05/2013

A New Zealand photographer is dead after falling from the 17th floor
of a hotel in India.

John Bramley, 56, was in Mumbai working on a photo shoot for Disney,
along with 20 to 25 other professionals from around the world, Indian
police said. He died at the Taj Lands End Hotel on Monday night (early
Tuesday NZT).

Family members were on their way from New Zealand to Mumbai, police
said.

Bramley's brother Michael said it was a difficult time the family and
asked for privacy.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it was aware of the
death of a New Zealander in Mumbai.

Consular staff at the New Zealand High Commission in New Delhi, the
New Zealand Consulate-General in Mumbai, and the ministry were helping
the family.

In other words, they can't chew gum and walk at the same time. Fools.

very sorry to think you feel this way, so obviously unenlightend with the ways and diversity of the human mind, let alone the the challenges that may it may encounter due to circumstances beyond reckoning...

Hi, this is Rob Chalk, a good mate of Johns. l for some unknown reason googled Johns name, guess l just wanted to acknowledge him again, when l came across the news that Michael had died. this is very distressing, and to think what Dorrie, they're Mum would be going through is unimaginable. How very sad.
Johns dear dog Sweet Pea is presently asleep at the end of my bed, she will turn 14 on june the 6th this year. She is my every day reminder of my mate John and how l miss him....rest in peace brother.

A friend posted on facebook about a show she did many years ago, and I saw that John was the photographer on it. I worked with him many years after that show. My friend had no idea idea John had passed. I'm glad to hear Sweet Pea was cared for after John's death. She was only a few years old when I met John, and I loved seeing them both every day of that shoot. Such a tragic loss.

Sadly 'Sweet pea' John's best mate and later to become mine, passed away 06/17 2020, what a champion she was, living and giving a presence that only a dog could, those that came upon her could only attest too.

I worked closely with John in Brisbane in the 80s and had many "adventures" together Hunter S Thompson would be proud of. One of life's true characters, immensely capable and talented and to be frank a nightmare to some of our less inspirational bosses. He was a truly disruptive influence in the best possible way.
