Friends raise thousands to send man's body home for family funeral

Kind hearted members of the community rallied to raise money for the family of a tragic Bootle man who took his own life following an explosive row with his long-distance girlfriend.

Polish-born Damian Zabocinski was just 26 when he was found hanged at a house on Pennington Road, where he lived with several other men, at around 00.20am on May 20 2022.

An online fundraiser, 'donate to help send Damian to Poland', raised £3,230 for his body to be sent to his native country for a funeral - far exceeding its original goal of £2,000.
