An Isle of Wight family have been left devastated and heartbroken by the sudden, tragic death of Luke Miller, who died on Thursday (7th January), whilst on holiday in Koh Tao, Thailand.
Tributes to 26 year old from Ryde, have poured onto social media over the last two days, alongside a GoFundMe appeal to raise enough money to help bring Luke home to his family.
Over £8,000 raised in 48 hours
The initial target of £5,000 was reached within just 15 hours, with the current total having already broken £8,000, only two days after the appeal was launched.
More than 450 people have donated to the fund, with donations ranging from £5 to £500. Many have said they didn’t know Luke, but were touched by the news and wanted to help.
