Paul Green’s family have released a statement after the news of his passing.

Today we are devastated.

We have lost a devoted husband, loving father and wonderful brother and son.

We cannot find the words that would come close to expressing our feelings, however we would like to extend our thanks to those who have reached out to us with their love and support.

Paul was loved by so many and we know that this news will generate immense interest, however at this time we ask for privacy.

Our family is still trying to understand this tragedy and we request space and time as we come to terms with this loss.

Thank you.
