The brother of the tragic teenager who drowned on a Dublin beach this week has launched a fundraiser to cover funeral costs.
Radley Lulendo (14) died on Monday, July 11 after getting into trouble while swimming at Burrow Beach.
His brother Pasias Lulendo has set up a GoFundMe to cover the costs of the funeral.
“I’m raising money for the funeral to help my family during this devastating time,” the fundraiser reads.
“We would appreciate any help we can get.”
Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.
A family friend told sundayworld.com that the schoolboy lived in Drumcondra with his parents and two siblings.
Originally from Congo and Angola, his bereaved parents are comforted by the wider African community in Ireland at their church in Clondalkin.
The Irish Coast Guard has said extensive searches were carried out on the coastline before the teenager was rescued from the water.
At the same time, a second teenager was also rescued.
Gardai and emergency services visited the site of the incident at Burrow Beach on Monday evening.
Bradley was rushed to Beaumont Hospital and later to CHI on Temple Street in Dublin, where he later died.
