Family of County Derry man who died abroad have Christmas wish to bring body home
Matthew Fox, who is from Drummullan, passed away in England on December 12
The family of a young man from South Derry who "died suddenly" while in England are hoping to have his body home in time for Christmas.
Matthew Fox, who is from Drummullan, passed away on December 12 and his family have been trying to raise funds to bring his body back to Ireland.
In a statement on JustGiving.com, Lauren Cox, who set up the fundraiser wrote: "Our greatest wish is to bring Matthew home to be laid to rest and brought home to his loved ones before Christmas."
All funds raised will go directly towards getting Matthew home and will be donated to the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust.
The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust is a charity that aims to alleviate the financial hardship of bereaved families bringing home the bodies of loved ones who have died abroad in sudden or tragic circumstances.
Matthew is survived by his parents Keira and Simon Robinson and Jonathan Cox, sisters Kathryn and Lucy, and grandparents Sean and Veronica Fox, Delia Cox, and Alice and Adrian Robinson.
"Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support as we honour our beautiful Matthew’s life and memory," the JustGiving.com page says.
Matthew's funeral arrangements will be made at a later date.
