Mr Bunn's family said they were "totally heartbroken" by his death.

In a statement, issued via Essex Police, they said: "Daryl, our much loved son, brother, uncle and fiance, who was taken too soon.

"Everyone who knew him would say what a lovely, beautiful soul he had inside and out, with a heart of gold and he will be truly missed."
