7NEWS.com.au understands Fattah, whose family are from Sydney, had been staying on his grandfather’s getaway property for a boys’ weekend when the tragedy occurred.
Fattah, whose family own a convenience store in Western Sydney, frequently featured in adorable advertisement videos posted on the store’s social media pages.
“Feeling thirsty guys?” he said in one of the clips as he reaches into a fridge to grab a drink.
“I’ve got two new, straight from Japan, Fanta! This is peach flavour, this is grape!
“And for you energy junkies, we have the brand new orange cream, mango ghost!”
Reminiscing on the videos, Fattah’s mother described the nine-year-old as a “cheeky boy” to 7NEWS.com.au on Monday.
