Rocker Nick Cave's teenage son died from ''multiple traumatic injuries'' after falling off a cliff in East Sussex, England, according to the local coroner.

Arthur Cave, 15, was found on the underpass of Ovingdean Gap in Brighton on July 14. He was taken to the Royal Sussex Country Hospital but died later that evening. An inquest on Thursday heard a full account of the fatality.

Coroner's officer Thea Jones told the court, "He had injuries consistent with falling from a great height."

A full inquest into the tragedy will begin in November with the person who was with him on the day he passed away.

His father, best known as the lead singer of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds described him as "his beautiful, loving boy."
