A SOUTHAMPTON businessman has died after being hit by a tree in a "freak accident" in Cornwall.
Ryan O'Carroll, 25, was pronounced dead at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth, following the incident in Tehidy Woods.
Tributes have been paid to well-known Ryan, who founded Yo Telecom in 2013.
His wife Stephanee Leal O'Carroll wrote on social media: "I've tried to write this down many times and every time it doesn't seem to say enough.
"This whole thing has been surreal. I can't believe you won't be next to me anymore – we were inseparable.
"You changed my life, I became a better person because of you, you loved me unconditionally and you inspired me everyday.
"Ryan your time with us was incredible.
"You've left your mark baby, you should be proud as we are of you.
"I miss you loads. I love you sneaky."
