Family of tragic dad, 26, sent touching message after sudden death

Tributes have been paid to a 26-year-old dad who died suddenly and left his family "devastated."

Will Jones, from Wallasey, was found in the bedroom of his King Street home by mum Sharon at around 10pm on Thursday, June 2. Paramedics tried to save the dad-of-one before he was pronounced dead at 10.26pm, with the cause of death still unknown.

Family friend, Paula Harwood, 44, said: "He was literally sitting on the bed in all of his clothes and he looked like he'd just fallen asleep, there was just no knowing. He didn't have any known underlying health conditions. It's just so sad."
