Family's heartache as dad dies after tragic diagnosis

A respected brain tumour campaigner who documented his journey through cancer while raising tens of thousands of pounds for charity has died. Tributes are being paid to Liam Bergin, who was 52.

His family spoke of a 'general heart on his sleeve good guy' who had 'tirelessly' raised funds to aid vital research. He lived his life like a 'tornado', they added.

The charity Brain Tumour Research, meanwhile, said Liam's story was 'a stark reminder of just how little is known about brain tumours, and why more research is so desperately needed'. And his death will help others live, as his family revealed he was an organ donor.
