A Gateshead family is appealing for help to bring an 'amazing, selfless' 25-year-old home, after he drowned in Spain while rescuing his dog from a river.
Paul Lebihan, from Leam Lane, died on Monday after getting into trouble in the Bolulla River, near Benidorm, after successfully freeing the dog from the current. Now his family has launched a fundraising appeal to help bring Paul's body back home and give him the memorial he deserves.
Paul's cousin, Kallym Bell, launched a GoFundMe page in support of Paul's parents, Deborah and Paul Snr. In less than 24 hours the page had already raised over £7,000, with hundreds of people leaving comments paying tribute to 'one of nicest men you could ever meet'.
