Tragically two young Irishmen lost their lives in Ecuador at the weekend.

26-yr-old David Higgins and 19-yr-old Alex McGourty lost their lives when their kayaks got caught in a strong current.

The two went missing on Saturday afternoon. The two men were kayaking on the Abanico river with four other men.

Alex McGourty’s body body was found shortly after the incident but Mr Higgins’ body was found after a very large search.

Many people, including their families have paid tribute to the two men.
