A former EastEnders star has died at the age of 38.
Ashvin Luximon died after suffering an aneurysm on July 23, according to his family. They have paid tribute to their 'loving son, brother and friend' and said his death 'hit them...hard', reports the Mirror.
He was best known for playing Asif Mailk in the BBC soap from 1999 until 2003 and appeared in 146 episodes, but also appeared in Grange Hill and Hope and Glory and starred in promotional videos for British Airways.
Ashvin's family have set up a page to remember him and raise money for charity, and they asked people to pay tribute there.
His family and friends held his funeral on Thursday 11 August at Enfield Crematorium, asking those attending to not wear black as they wanted to celebrate his life.
On the page, his family and friends wrote: "This site is a tribute to Ash, who passed on the 23rd July 2022 due to a aneurysm.
"Ash's unexpected passing has hit us all hard, but we want to take the time to remember his larger than life spirit. He loved and was loved by so many. He sang a mean karaoke tune and had a voice loud enough to hear from space! He brought laughter and the best cuddles.
"Please use this space to share thoughts, photos and memories. Please be respectful.
"As a family we would like to ask anyone who would have made a floral tribute to instead donate to our chosen charities, the NSPCC (Ash was the ultimate Uncle) and Andy's Man Club ( a charity aimed at helping men talk).
"He loved you xxx."
