Carlow man in Canada fall confirmed dead, family ‘devastated’

Eric was happily earning a living and staying in Canada before he unfortunately slipped on a flight of stairs, fell and hit his head.

Since then, he was fighting for his life in the hospital, but now he has tragically passed away due to serious injuries from the fall.

His aunt Georgina confirmed the news, as she posted on a GoFundMe page set up to help with his medical and funeral costs.

She wrote: “We are beyond devastated to share the incredibly sad news that our Eric has passed away.

“He has not survived his injuries.

“We must focus now on repatriation and funeral costs along with the incurred medical costs and so will keep this page open until we ascertain that cost.”
