Family in tribute to Donegal man who died after being found lying in Manchester street

- BY STAFF REPORTER

A DONEGAL family has described their son who died in Manchester as “loving and kind”.

Dylan Crawford (20) was found unconsciou­s in Spear Street in the early hours of Wednesday and was taken to Manchester Royal Infirmary.

A post-mortem examinatio­n was inconclusi­ve as enquiries continue to establish the cause of death of the young man from Killygordo­n.

Two men who were arrested on suspicion of theft and supplying prohibited drugs continue to be questioned as police issued a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to in connection with the death of Mr Crawford. In a statement issued on Thursday, Mr Crawford’s family spoke of their devastatio­n at his passing.

“Our Dylan was a loving, kind and a very trustworth­y individual,” they said.

“He saw the good in everyone and that was his downfall.

“He loved to travel and would give the world to anyone.

“He was the heart of our family and words can’t describe how devastated we are.

“Our home will never be the same without him.

“We love you son, brother, cousin and friend. May you rest in peace darling.”

Detective Inspector Rebecca Boyce of Greater Manchester Police has appealed for informatio­n to help its investigat­ion and has urged anyone who was around the Spear Street, Back Piccadilly Street and Oldham Street areas between 11.30pm on Tuesday and 12.30am on Wednesday to come forward.
