Tributes have been paid to a "human cannonball" stuntman who plunged to his death at a daredevil show. Matt Cranch, 23, died after a safety net failed during the Scott May's Daredevil Stunt Show at the Kent County Showground in Detling on Monday afternoon. Cranch, who was from the Isle of Man but had more recently been living in Newquay, Cornwall, was described on Facebook as a "lovable character" and a "true gent who had time for anyone and everyone". Friends of Cranch, who was understood to have only taken up the job as a stuntman two weeks ago, gathered on the beach at Newquay to remember him on Tuesday night.
