Stuart Kelly, the teenage brother of one-punch victim Thomas Kelly, has sadly died.

The 19-year-old passed away in Mona Vale, Sydney on Monday.

“This is the second great tragedy to affect the Kelly family,” he said.

“The exact circumstances surrounding his death are not known, however, it is enough to know that we have lost a member of our community and therefore our thoughts and prayers go out to Kathy and Ralph Kelly and their daughter Madeleine.”

Thomas was randomly punched by Kieran Loveridge in Kings Cross in July 2012.

He was 18 when he passed away in hospital.
