The heartbroken girlfriend of the daredevil British influencer who jumped to his death from the highest bridge in Spain has revealed that the last words he said to her were: “Good night, I love you.”
Savannah Parker spoke to tragic Lewis Stevenson hours before attempting to scale the 630-foot Castilla La Mancha Bridge.
The 26-year-old, who traveled the world scaling skyscrapers and other tall structures, died instantly after losing his balance and falling. He was not wearing a safety harness.
Savannah told MailOnline her boyfriend had texted her as he was preparing to scale the bridge with another British daredevil.
She said: ‘We spoke at half past eleven and the last thing he said to me was: “Good night, I love you.”‘

His grandfather Clifford Stevenson, 70, said: “We all tried to talk him out of it.” We were always trying to talk him out of doing things, but that’s just the way he was.
Family members have revealed they tried to talk Stevenson out of his latest stunt.
‘He sent me a message at half past five to say “good morning” with three kisses. I didn’t see him until a quarter to eight.
The 25-year-old office worker believes Lewis may have lost control after fainting less than halfway across the bridge, southwest of the Spanish capital, Madrid.
She said: ‘He didn’t just fall. He lost consciousness because he did not feel well.
‘His friend he was with sent me his police statement.
“He told his friend he wasn’t feeling well and said, ‘Shall we go back down?’ Lewis said, ‘Give me a minute,’ and that’s when he blacked out and slipped.
‘I suspect he hadn’t eaten because he wouldn’t care if he was hungry or thirsty, he would do something.
But I don’t know, since I’ve known him he has never lost consciousness or fainted. I don’t know what happened, but that’s what his friend told me.
She said they had been together for most of the last 10 years and he was always embarking on another death-defying adventure.
“He’s been doing this kind of thing for years. We’ve known each other for 10 years and he’s been doing it for at least five of those years,” she said.

Others involved in the high-risk sport of climbing structures without a safety harness expressed their sorrow online over Stevenson’s death.
Stevenson showed off some of his rooftopping around the world on his Instagram page under the name Expedition (pictured in London).

‘Every time he left I told him to be careful
‘As much as I worry, I don’t look into things because I worry enough and I just let it do its thing and it usually just comes back. This weekend he didn’t.
‘It’s one thing to hear that he’s gone, but another is how tragic it happened.
Spanish police said Stevenson had climbed about 60 meters up the bridge when he fell. Authorities in the region said climbing the structure was illegal.
Savannah, from Derby, said she had traveled with her boyfriend to Malta last year and, despite her fear of heights, he convinced her to climb an abandoned building.
“On our last day, he convinced me to go with him to an abandoned building and I went with him, but I was really scared because I don’t go up there or do any of that,” she said.
“I said, ‘I don’t know how you do this all the time.’ I was really afraid of making a wrong move and that was it, but we did it.
‘I was anxious to leave because it was abandoned for a reason: it wasn’t safe.
“He was always doing things. It was hard to keep up. Last year he traveled to South America for eight months. It was what he loved to do.

He loved doing it, he always came out believing he would be fine. He did what he did for his own pleasure. “He didn’t receive money for it, he was an adventurer.”
Writing on Instagram, a friend who shared his passion for what is known as ‘rooftopping’ and goes by the name Louie_W1 wrote: ‘Meeting you has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.
‘And losing you is the greatest sadness of my life. No amount of words in a stupid Instagram post can describe how much I miss you.
‘You will always be the bravest, loving and funniest person I have ever met. I am proud of every building, every roof, every moment of our time together.
‘My best friend, my brother. Rest easy, we will meet again one day.’
Posting a photo of Stevenson sitting on a New York City skyscraper, another daredevil named Viliany wrote: “Over the past seven years you have introduced me to a new understanding of freedom, which has greatly changed my perspective on life, giving me guidance on my own creativity.” Always work by motivating and inspiring me through your own creative coherence.
Spanish police said Stevenson had climbed about 60 meters up the bridge when he fell.
