*UPDATE: 6.00pm Saturday 19 November 2011
All three boys who passed away were from Proserpine - they had finished school just yesterday.
Our condolences go out to their families and friends - we are thinking of you.
This is a devastating blow for everyone in the small sugar town of Proserpine and Proserpine High School.
Our thoughts also go out to the Emergency services personel who attended, many of whom have had to deal with this and work a double shift tonight (with today's tragedy very clear in their minds) due to Schoolies.
