A life above the clouds was always what Gevnesh Prasad dreamed about, but on Saturday he died a few weeks short of realising his dream job.
The 24-year-old was found dead near the Auckland Viaduct over the weekend, his family receiving the news from police on Saturday morning. A week on they are still in the dark about how their beloved family member died.
Prasad's death comes weeks after the Auckland flying community was rocked by the deaths of two Ardmore Flying School pilots, Zakir Ali Parkar and Pete Callagher, who died when their aircraft crashed in the Kaimanawa Ranges last month.
Prasad was due to start work with Fiji Airways in July, months after graduating from Massey University's School of Aviation.
