Overview
- Jake Tyler Duffield, 28, from Norfolk, died while on holiday in Ibiza after travelling there with friends and his relatives say they are trying to bring his body back to the UK.
- Friends and community members led by pub landlord Paul Sandford set up a GoFundMe to cover the high costs of repatriation and the page has raised over £23,000.
- Jake’s stepmother, Nicki Duffield, described him as a kind, caring young man who loved the party atmosphere and paid tribute to his life.
- Media outlets have contacted the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for comment and no official cause or investigatory findings have been published.
- Repatriating a body from abroad can be expensive and procedurally complex, so the family’s appeal reflects both the emotional toll on loved ones and the practical barriers to returning him home.
