Tributes paid to 22-year-old construction worker who died following seizure

Craig Morrell: Died following a seizure.

Tributes have been paid to a 22-year-old man who has died at home after suffering a seizure.

Craig Morrell, from Dundee, collapsed at his flat on Monday and passed away before paramedics could treat him.

Craig, who suffered from epilepsy, was a keen football player and worked at a local construction firm.

His family paid moving tribute to their son, saying Craig had left a "huge hole" in the lives of everyone around him.

His dad, also called Craig, 40, said: "I'm devastated, I can't believe it. He was my only son and the only grandson in the family. All the family were here yesterday and we've had messages from all his friends. Craig had epilepsy and from what we are led to believe it has to do with that. I think he has had a seizure. It's every parent's worst nightmare. We loved him to bits. I'm sure all his friends will miss him."

A former pupil of Lawside, Craig worked for Brown Construction.

The company's managing director said: "The thoughts of all the staff and workers at Brown Construction are with his family during this sad time."

A spokesperson for Tayside Police said the death was not being treated as suspicious but a report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal.
