An Epsom man who survived the ravages of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans three years ago has been killed in a road accident in South Korea.
Will Nelson, an experienced traveller, was working teaching English at a school in Seoul when he was knocked off his bicycle and killed instantly.
Will, 24, a graduate from Loughborough University, and a former pupil of Therfield School, Leatherhead, was dedicated to exploring the world and had already spent a period living and teaching in Japan before going on to South Korea.
Pages of tributes to him have been made on Facebook, the social networking site, including a tribute from Peter Henry, also from Epsom, who was rescued with Will from New Orleans three years ago.
