Partner of tragic Irish man gives birth to baby boy one month after his death

The partner of a Dublin teenager tragically killed in a motorcycle crash gave birth to a baby boy just a month after his passing.

Josh Boyd from Ballymun was tragically killed in a motorcycle crash on New Year's Day.

And the 19-year-old's girlfriend gave birth to Josh's son on February 2 - just over one month after his father's tragic death, Dublin Live reports.

The name of the baby boy is Sonny and social media users said he is "the image" of his late father.

One said: "He’s his double".

Another wrote: "Absolutely beautiful image of his dad."

A third user commented: "Congratulations he is a little beauty."

At his funeral mass last month, Josh was remembered as a "a character, with a good sense of humour" who was "good to people" .

Josh was killed after the motorbike he was riding struck a lamppost on Sillogue Road on New Year's day.

Emergency services arrived at the scene shortly after the crash, however Josh was pronounced dead a short time later.
