He explained: “It’s been a tough few months, he passed on the 23rd of June so not that long ago. I’m probably still very much in a numb phase. 

“I went through the horror, shock, breakdown in the first few weeks. It was out of the blue entirely. As an older brother, it’s tough to have a younger sibling do that. He had a place in medical school, he was due to start this year.

“I’ll never get over it, I think it will take me a long time to accept it. It was very much out of the blue. I think he was anxious about his exam results but we certainly didn’t think he felt like that.”

The frontline doctor tragically announced his brother’s death in July.

He wrote: “I have lost my beautiful little brother to mental health. I love you so much Llŷr. The kindest and most caring soul.”

“We are hurting so bad. No words can explain.”

Alex has since made several other moving tributes to his brother on social media.
