Craig, who had a 16-year-old daughter and six-year-old son, had left the UK in January to explore Australia as part of a trip to decide if he wanted to move there permanently.

His parents Chris and Julie Oliver said an appeal set up by Craig’s twin brother Glenn to bring his body home has raised £10,000 so far.

Mr Oliver said “time just froze” after two cops knocked on their door at 6.30am on March 16.

Mrs Oliver told BBC Radio Sheffield: “It’s a mum’s worst nightmare, you go to bed and you’ve twin boys and you get up in the morning and you’ve got one boy.”

She described Craig, from Rotherham, as a “fun-loving lad”.

“He wanted to go and find a better life for all of them, but mostly he enjoyed spending time with his family,” she said.

Glenn said his twin brother Craig was a “family man who loved his kids passionately”.

He told the Rotherham Advertiser: “Craig was full of life and loved to live life to the full, his warmth and happiness touched so many.

“He travelled to Australia in January and was hoping to come home in June.

“He was loving his time [there] and regularly shared his travels and experiences through social media.

“His death came as a huge shock to us all and we are all still in disbelief.”

Glenn said he’s hoping to “raise enough money to be able to bring him back to the UK to be able to have the funeral he deserves”.
