Liverpool Father Dies Suddenly on Benidorm Holiday

Joseph McManus, a 42-year-old father of three from Dingle, Liverpool, died suddenly after collapsing just hours into a last-minute holiday with friends in Benidorm. Known for his sense of humor, kindness, and devotion to his children and partner, McManus was remembered as a 'happy-go-lucky' and 'big cuddly bear.' He was a passionate Everton fan, sports enthusiast, and music lover, and worked at DHL for Jaguar Land Rover. McManus had joined the trip after others dropped out, and his unexpected passing has left his family and community devastated, particularly his mother and sisters. Friends and colleagues have paid tribute online, highlighting his positive impact. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to repatriate his body, raising thousands to support his grieving family.
