Categories: Tragedy

Countries: Southeast Asia

Lincoln David Abraham was born on 15 October 1970. His birth was registered in the 4th quarter of 1970 in the Paddington registration district and his mother's maiden name was Shaw.

According to the BBC News website, Lincoln Abraham was a City broker living in Hampstead, London and died, aged 34 years, on 26 December 2004 while on holiday with a group of friends at the Princess Diving and Spa Resort on Phi Phi, Thailand.

The London inquest heard he was with two friends and had just left them in the reception area of the hotel and returned to his beach-side chalet when the tsunami hit. His friends escaped and later identified his body. The Find A Grave website shows that his body was buried on 3 January 2005 in Plot Y8, Row 5, Grave 18, in the Bushey Jewish Cemetery (now the Old Bushey Jewish Cemetery), Little Bushey Lane, Bushey, WD23 3TP.

He is shown as Lincoln Abraham on the Tsunami Memorial in Darwin Centre Garden, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD.
