The third victim of the terrorist attack outside Parliament in London on Wednesday has been named by his family as Kurt Cochran, a US tourist who was on a holiday around Europe with his wife for their 25th anniversary.<\/p>\n
Cochran fell to his death from the south end of Westminster Bridge as the car used in the attack sped down it, mowing into pedestrians.<\/p>\n
His relative Shantell Payne, from Utah, wrote on Facebook: \u201cWith a heavy heart I must pass the sad news of our beautiful brother, father, husband, son and friend Kurt Cochran, he could not overcome the injuries he received in the London terror attacks.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThis pain is so heart wrenching and raw it has rocked our family and all that knew him to its core. We will miss Kurt beyond words. We love you Kurt. RIP.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n His wife Melissa is also seriously injured with a broken leg and rib, Payne wrote on Facebook.<\/p>\n A great American, Kurt Cochran, was killed in the London terror attack. My prayers and condolences are with his family and friends.<\/p>\n \u2014 Donald J.

He has been praised by politicians, colleagues and friends.<\/p>\n The family of Palmer has paid tribute to the \u201cdeeply missed\u201d<\/em> police officer. Palmer was married with a five-year-old daughter. <\/p>\n \u201cKeith will be remembered as a wonderful dad and husband. A loving son, brother and uncle.
