Friends and family are mourning the loss of a Canadian man killed in a tragic accident in Phuket Thailand. Canadian Sean Cundell, 35 died after being hit by his motorbike collided with a passenger van in Phuket.

Sean Cundell was travelling through Phuket and visiting friends who were already there.

The 35-year-old remained contentious long enough to give an American tourist his name. Asking the tourist to contact family in back Canada.

The American traveler sent a Facebook message to one of Cundell’s listed Facebook friends asking if he was in Thailand.

Friends and family were thrown into a panic, unable to get details from authorities in Thailand.

Global Affairs Canada would assist the family in getting information and confirming Sean’s death in Phuket.

Cundell’s family owns Cundell Stables in the Byward Market. The horse business has been in Ottawa for more than a century. It is the last remaining stable in the city.

Friends described him as a selfless, kind-hearted man, who would do anything for anyone. He had a zest for life and loved to travel.

Sean was known to love his family deeply…. especially his twin brother James and his dog Winston.

The Cundell family told Canada’s CTV they are just devastated but still have many unanswered questions.

His family would also like to thank everyone who reached out to them. They also wish to thank Global Affairs Canada who ‘went above and beyond’ to help.
