Heartbreaking note and flowers left at scene where Irishman died in Canada hit-and-run

A note has been left at the scene of where a young Irish man died in a hit-and-run in Canada, along with some flowers.

The 24-year-old, who is yet to be named, died on Sunday when he was hit by a car in the city of Vancouver. The victim had been crossing the road with a friend on Arbutus Street in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver at around 11.30pm when a grey sedan struck him.

The poignant note left with the flowers describes the young man as merely "someone", with few likely to know the Irishman in a city of close to 700,000 people. The note at the scene says: "'Someone lost their life to a hit-and-run Sunday June 19."
