A tragic inquest has unveiled that Connor Abbott, a cherished 22-year-old football fan from Thirsk, North-East England, died from a drug overdose while vacationing in Thailand. Found in his Bangkok hotel room on September 22 last year, the cause of death was ruled as morphine toxicity by North Yorkshire Coroner's Court.

 

A GoFundMe page pays tribute to Connor, a devoted York City supporter, as a deeply loved son, brother, and friend, celebrated for his vibrant personality and ability to spread joy among those around him. "He was more than a friend – he was a source of laughter, happiness, and unforgettable memories," the tribute states.

 

In honour of Connor, York City fans organised a minute’s applause in the 23rd minute of their match against Eastleigh on September 28, reflecting the impact of his life on the community.

 

 

York manager Adam Hinshelwood conveyed the club's deepest condolences, emphasising their efforts in respecting Connor’s memory during this sombre time. Minstermen co-chairman Matt Uggla expressed his heartfelt sympathies, echoing the sentiments of the SC Block Reds supporters group, who recalled fond memories with Connor.

 

Despite these tributes, specific circumstances surrounding Abbott’s death remain undisclosed by his family or coroner Jon Heath. The inquest has been postponed, with a new date pending, leaving room for further investigation into this sorrowful incident that has touched many in the football community, reported The Thaiger.

Why did report stating his love of football have anything to do with it? When I die, will obit say "Long time Beatles fan"? well, maybe

With a name like you've got, sounds like a wurst loving kraut!

The dowager Countess of Grantham would have been dismayed by this. The very thought of druggies from Thirsk roaming about is horrible. What’s next, jitterbugging in Ripon?
