Tributes have begun for the 21-year-old who is being remembered as a ‘beautiful young man’.

Family friend Ally Modra said Danny had a big future ahead of him – were it not for his tragic death.

“Danny was a vibrant, caring and loving young man with a bright future ahead of him, loved by all who knew him,” she wrote on the GoFundMe page.

Ms Modra also extended her condolences to the mum Lena Murav’eva who had the heart wrenching task of saying farewell to her only child.

“(Danny) was the only child of Lena … it has always been the two of them, through the good times and the bad,” Ms Modra wrote.

“(Lena) loved and supported him from the day he was born and was by his bedside holding his hand when he passed.

“No parent should ever have to go through this pain … his untimely death has left a profound void in the hearts of his family and friends.”

Ms Modra has set up a GoFundMe to support Lena Murav’eva with funeral expenses.
