A man from Co Armagh has sadly died days after a "devastating accident" on his dream holiday to Thailand.
Ryan Daly, 27, embarked on an "adventure of a lifetime" as he set off travelling the world when he was injured in Thailand earlier this week, suffering fatal injuries.
J&K Coaches in Moneymore, who the Portadown man had previously worked for as an ambulance care attendant, announced the details of his death on their social media pages.
The company had set up a fundraising page while Ryan was on life-support, which has now raised £37,000. Ryan's mum and sister had travelled to Thailand to be by his side in hospital.
The team at J&K Coaches said they woke this morning to the "heart-wrenching" news of Ryan's passing. They added: "Our deepest condolences go out to his mum Julie, his sister Lucy, his extended family, friends, and colleagues during this profoundly difficult time.
"Since launching our fundraiser on Wednesday, an incredible £36,487 has been raised (as of the time of this post), exceeding our target by nearly £17,000.
"We are deeply grateful to everyone who has donated, shared, commented, and sent kind messages of support through the page, the link, and across social media. Your words have been truly heartwarming, and we are confident that when Ryan’s family are ready, they will find great solace in reading them.
"Ryan was a remarkable person, leaving a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him. At this time, we kindly ask that you keep Ryan’s family in your thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, Ryan, always in our thoughts."
