Mr Wagland's family paid tribute to their "funny and ambitious" dad.

They said: "As a family we are devastated by the sudden loss of our loving Dad.

"He was the best ‘Pap’ to his three grandchildren who he loved unconditionally.

"His love for cooking, music and dancing will live on through us forever. We will always cherish the memories we had with him. He will be missed by all his family and friends.

"We are very shocked about the circumstances of our Dad’s death and would appreciate some respect and privacy at this time."
