Bray mourns as backpacker makes his final journey

HUNDREDS of mourners turned out yesterday to hear tributes to the Irish backpacker who died last week after falling into a coma on his dream holiday.

Dylan Curran, 26, from the Sugarloaf Crescent in Bray, Co Wicklow, died on Wednesday after almost a month in a coma.

Dylan suffered a blow to the head in a swimming pool accident in Thailand early last month, on the return leg of a year-long trip to Australia. He collapsed days later but doctors are unclear if the injury was the main cause of death.
