Crash victim’s family arrive in Thailand

THE family of plane crash victim Aaron Toland arrived in Thailand yesterday to begin the process of bringing his body home.

Last night, the Department of Foreign Affairs said it would take some days to sort out the necessary paper work before his body would be released. Mr Toland, 23, was from Derry and was the only Irish person killed in Sunday’s plane crash at Phuket Airport.

The Irish consulate met with his family yesterday and is providing support on the ground.
