An Irish dad-of-three died suddenly after kitesurfing in Portugal last week.
Kerry native Tom Griffin collapsed on Fonte de Telha beach in Almada, near Lisbon, last Wednesday.
Local media in Portugal reports that he left the water on foot after feeling ill before fainting on the beach.
Emergency services were called shortly after 4pm, but despite the efforts of local Maritime Police and medical crews, Mr Griffin died shortly after.
Mr Griffin worked at the Intel HQ in Leixlip, Co Kildare, and is originally from Muckross in Killarney.
A Department of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman told the Irish Daily Star that they are aware of the case and are providing assistance.
A notice on RIP.ie reads: "Late of Carlton Square, Maynooth and Muckross, Killarney.
"Beloved husband of Michelle, dear father of Laura, David and Louise and son of Michael and the late Kathleen (recently deceased).
"Sadly missed by his loving family, brothers Des, Brian and Dermot, father-in-law Danny, mother-in-law Bridie, brothers-in-law Paul, Alan and Ben, sisters-in-law Lisa, Yvonne, Denise, Beliza and Anne, nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, cousins, relatives, neighbours, his work colleagues at Intel and his many friends."
Funeral arrangements will be confirmed at a later date.
