An appeal by the family of a man who died following a collision in Douglas has raised over £9,000.
Henry Fong died following a collision at the bottom of Broadway on while walking home on Saturday December 21.
Mr Fong was airlifted to Liverpool but sadly his injuries proved fatal and he died peacefully on Sunday December 22 with his five daughters by his side.
As Mr Fong had no insurances in place to cover funeral and repatriation costs, his family created the appeal to help pay for them.
They said: “Anyone who knew our Dad knows how kind, funny, and respectful he was. He was loved by everyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting him. He will be missed beyond words could ever convey and his loss is insufferable.
“Unfortunately, Dad didn’t have any policies or insurances in place and this has left us worrying about how to pay for the funeral costs, of not only the funeral itself, but the repatriation to get him back to the island so he can be buried with his late wife, LiQuong.
“We are aware that this is so close after Christmas and any amount you can spare is appreciated.”
Having originally set a target of £3,500, generous donors have so far raised just over £9,1000.
