A Radford father-of-two has been described as having a "heart of gold" by his family after collapsing in the street and passing away just weeks before his birthday. Nick Walton, 46, was walking along Radford Road to see his brother on November 26 when he suddenly fell at around 4.30pm.
A witness to the incident called paramedics and Nick was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre, where he was in a coma for two weeks before passing away on December 11. His death came just two weeks before his birthday and exactly a month after the passing of his grandma.
Adam Walton, 40, the brother who Nick was on his way to see, has paid tribute to his sibling as someone who would "have done anything for anyone." He also says that the family didn't find out about Nick's fall until two days later because he didn't have any ID on him at the time.
