A celebration of life will be held for Killian Roche, fiancé of Fade Street star Emily MacKeogh, following his sudden death in Dubai.
The couple had only recently gotten engaged in February and had moved to Dubai to start a new life.
Killian who grew up in Tipperary and lived in Dublin, had been about to start a new job when he passed away unexpectedly on March 30.
A source told The Irish Daily Mirror: “Emily is absolutely devastated. We are hearing it was either sudden adult death syndrome or a heart attack but the autopsy is being carried out.
“Killian wasn’t unwell, there was nothing wrong with him, it’s such a tragedy.”
A death notice on RIP.ie reads: "Adored and forever loved by his parents Brian and Christine, sisters Aisling and Niamh, fiancé Emily MacKeogh, best pal Zeb, grandparents Mathew and Marjorie Roche, grandmother Maureen Gorman and his deceased grandad Christopher Gorman, aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family friends and colleagues."
A celebration of life ceremony will be held at Dardistown crematorium in Dublin on Saturday, April 13 at 2pm.
His family have requested family flowers only, donations if desired, may be made to the Kevin Bell Trust or Doctors Without Borders.
Following his tragic death, fiancé Emily shared a poignant tribute to Killian on Instagram, calling him her "better half".
She wrote:"You made me the happiest I’ve ever been, every second of every day.
