The labourer was found unresponsive at a hotel in Antalya, the Echo reports.

Tyler’s uncle, Alex Price, has now remembered his Manchester United-mad nephew in a touching tribute.

Alex said: “He was an energetic, exuberant young lad who was just settling into his life.

“He had a stable job, had just got himself a new car and was beginning to think about moving in with his girlfriend.”

Alex said his family believe Tyler must have woken up early and gone for a walk or to get some food.

They think the most likely explanation for the tragedy is Tyler pressed the button for the lift and he walked in without it being there.

Alex mentioned that they think he fell around 4 am their time. He was in touch with family members shortly before that, sharing how much he was enjoying himself.

Tyler’s family now face the tricky task of bringing his body back from the UK.

They have now launched a GoFundMe to help cover the cost of bringing his body back and to support the family.

Alex also paid tribute in the GoFundMe: “A young man full of personality, kindness and compassion with his whole life ahead of him.

“He was completely devoted to his family and girlfriend Molly. We are all absolutely devastated.”
