Alex Waddington, 42, died after being involved in a road accident while visiting the country described by his family as his “happy place”.

The building worker was from Birkenhead, Merseyside, and lived in Liverpool.

His devastated relatives are now trying to bring his body home so they can give him the send-off he deserves, as reported by Need To Know.

Family friend Lyndsey Morton has launched a fundraiser to help cover the cost of repatriation from Thailand, where the incident took place.

Lyndsey said: “Alex was like a little brother to me.

“He was a 42-year-old lad, full of life, full of fun and was loved by everyone.

“But sadly, on holiday last week, his life was so tragically ended in a motorbike accident in Thailand.

“Obviously, repatriation to enable the family to give Alex the full send-off he deserves comes at a cost.

“So I’m asking everyone who knew him, or had any pennies to spare, to help me help this poor family, who are naturally heartbroken.”

His niece, Tilly Mae, also appealed for help bringing her uncle back to the UK.

She said: “My uncle Alex unfortunately lost his life in a road traffic accident in Thailand earlier this week.

“We are aware times are hard right now, but to bring him back home to the family will amount to a lot of money.

“Even if it’s a couple of pounds, it will all go a long way.”
