His family previously said in a statement: "No one could have seen this coming. Lavaun was destined for greatness and he wanted to fly high.

"He just wanted to have a good life and to take care of his family.

"Everyone who knows him will remember him as a legend. We are all absolutely traumatised.

"We don't know how we are going to go on. It is just too painful. Long Live Lavz."
