West Belfast family keeping brother's memory alive after he died waiting for a heart transplant

The family of a Belfast man who died while waiting for a heart transplant, are continuing to keep his memory alive.

Gavin Casson was found dead at his home in Poleglass three years ago. He was just 37-years-old when he died, after being on the urgent transplant list for six months.

Speaking to Belfast Live shortly after his death, Gavin's sister Ashleigh described her brother as a quiet man who "kept himself to himself". He was diagnosed with dilated and muscular dystrophy when he was 24, and then had a pacemaker fitted before being officially put on the transplant list six months before his death.
