Brit cop, 26, dies on holiday in Mallorca
The beloved policeman had a massive heart attack while holidaying in Spain
British policeman Jack Reay, aged 26, has died while on holiday in Mallorca, Spain. PC Reay, from Uttoxeter, died after going into cardiac arrest on the Spanish holiday island.
The circumstances surrounding his tragic death on holiday are still unclear. Tributes have already poured in from colleagues and loved ones for the popular copper.
Chairman of the Staffordshire Police Federation, Lee Robinson said: “We are absolutely devastated. He was a really popular member of the team.
“He was such a young lad with such a bright future ahead of him. He was so well thought of. His colleagues are devastated.
“The way that his colleagues have reacted and the overwhelming sadness that this has created within the police family is testament to his popularity.
“It’s just so sad. He was so young.”
Jack joined the force as a student in Staffordshire in 2020, before rising the ranks. He worked at the Western Hub at Cannock before being posted to Moorland’s Local Policing Team in Leek.
He also played for Uttoxeter Rugby Club, who released a statement saying, “Jack came to us simply looking for a casual game of rugby and instantly became an invaluable member of our 2nd team squad raising the game of everyone around him with his undeniably talented gameplay.
“We feel privileged to have had the chance to play alongside him and will miss him deeply.
“All of Jack’s loved ones can be assured that he was admired by everyone he knew at Uttoxeter RFC and our thoughts will remain with his family and friends through this difficult time.”
A GoFundMe page set up by Jack’s brother, Tom, to raise money for the funeral costs has already raised £7,724, smashing the £6000 target.
