Despite desperate attempts from his wife and paramedics to revive him, Kilbride was pronounced dead at the scene.

A coroner later ruled that the 46-year-old had suffered from acute heart failure.

"I want people to know how he would help anybody whether it was a life-long friend, or someone he had just met," she told The Sun. "He was a great family man and he worked so hard.
