David 'Dai' Richards, a 31-year-old father from Mountain Ash in South Wales, passed away while on a stag do in Prague. Dai, as he was known to his loved ones, was accompanied by his partner Jola Simms and their three young children - Aurora (4), Bear (2), and Vienna (1). The family had just returned from a holiday and Dai had left for the stag party early that morning. Tragically, a few hours later, they received a call informing them of a terrible incident that had occurred with Dai.
Dai's family, including sister Tammy Sheehan and cousin Gemma Thomas, described him as a devoted father, partner, son, brother, and friend. To them, he was the glue that held their family together. He was a keen footballer and known for his infectious energy and fun-loving nature. They were devastated by the news and immediately flew to Prague to be by his side.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the family remained hopeful that Dai would pull through, but unfortunately, his life-support machines were turned off the next day. The cause of Dai's death was a blow to the back of his head from a vodka bottle in what his family described as a "blind attack". He had been talking to locals in the street when the incident occurred. A French passer-by had given him first aid before he was taken to the hospital.
Dai's family paid tribute to him, describing him as having a lion's heart and being extremely family-oriented. They set up a fundraising page to help Jola, who is now a single mother to their three young children. The outpouring of love and support from the community has been overwhelming, but it brings comfort to know how well-loved Dai was.
Dai's local football club, AFC Abercynon, also released a statement expressing their deep condolences to his family and friends. They postponed their game as a mark of respect and offered their support to the family during this difficult time.
The Czech police have arrested a 26-year-old man and charged him with grievous bodily harm and disorderly conduct in connection with Dai's death. According to reports, an argument had broken out between two groups before the incident occurred. The Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office has also stated that they are supporting Dai's family.
The loss of Dai has left a void in the lives of those who knew him. He was a loving father, a cherished partner, and a dear friend. His family and friends will always remember him as a kind, fun, and wonderful person. Rest in peace, Dai.
