An Irish woman (27) has died following an accident in Thailand.
It is understood that Louise Furey, from Glenties in Co Donegal, died after a fall from a balcony at her resort. It is believed that Ms Furey, who was based on the Channel Islands, arrived in Thailand last Wednesday.
Speaking to independent.ie, Chairman of the Glenties Community Group, Brian Carr said:
Louise moved to Guernsey a few years ago but was a frequent visitor home. You would see herself and her close school friends catching up what had happened since they last met. There was about five or six of them in a very close gang of friends, of which some are also away from home.
Louise went on what would be called the trip of a lifetime just last Wednesday with her boyfriend Sam to Thailand, unfortunately, a holiday that had such a tragic ending.
