Horror as Brit cop, 26, dies on holiday in Majorca as tributes pour in for ‘popular lad with a bright future’
A BRIT cop described as a “ray of sunshine” has sadly passed away while on holiday in Spain.
Tributes have poured in for PC Jack Reay, 26, from Uttoxeter, after he died after going into cardiac arrest while in Majorca.
The officer joined the force in Staffordshire in 2020 as a student, before rising the ranks.
He later worked at the Western Hub at Cannock before being posted to the Moorland’s Local Policing Team.
The police officers’ union, the Police Federation, described him as a “ray of sunshine who was popular with his colleagues”.
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.”
