'Treat us fairly': Family of Filipino man who died in Jersey accommodation fire lament inquiry delay
The family of a Filipino man who died working on a farm in Jersey say they are desperate for answers after the inquiry into his death has been adjourned. George Michael Monte De Ramos Castrudes died in January after the flames from a fire he started got out of control and engulfed his accommodation. His family have since raised concerns about there being no set date for the continuation of the inquiry, after raising concerns about the standard of his accommodation. The inquest opened at the end of January, with Castrudes' family remotely dialling in from the Philippines. Andrew Woodward, the coroner, confirmed the provisional cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning. The inquiry into his death was adjourned for July, but this has since been delayed. Speaking exclusively to ITV, Grace Monte De Ramos Castrudes - George's sister - is calling for answers around the circumstances of his death. She explains: "We have a lot of difficulties, thinking about how my brother got to that point. No one can explain to us what really happened to my brother. His body was repatriated to the Philippines in March. "We were relieved that we saw my brother's body, but at the same time, our hearts have really shattered by thinking that my brother worked so hard in a different country to give a better life for his children, but came home with nothing. "Even though we have to accept that my brother is gone now, we still need an explanation." Video footage from Raffy Tuffo in Action The repatriation of George's body was aided by the Filipino government, and they have offered financial support to his family. However, the family said they received limited support from the Government of Jersey, and have been saddened by the lack of progress on the inquiry. Grace says: "We were very disappointed because we had the confidence and the trust that the government in Jersey had the equal application of law, and it is better than the Philippines, but we never heard anything. "We were expecting that they would dutifully have the inquest in July, but now it is mid-August already and they haven't given us any day or any update regarding the second inquest or the progress of the case of my brother. "It's a big help to us if it gives any closure or any clearer information about my brother's death. Especially to my parents and to his children, at least we would have peace of mind. "We are hoping that they will dutifully serve the equal justice for my brother. As humans, we are still hoping that they will treat us fairly." Grace now says she is concerned for other Filipino workers in Jersey, saying: "It's not about the earnings, it's about life. "The Filipino has the capacity of mind to work hard to support their family, no matter what; they risk everything, even their life, just to give a better future for their family, especially for their children. "But, I just want to tell Filipinos that it's not worth the risk. Their family will lose their loved one just for the sake of money. "My family now have to help each other to accept that George is really gone." ITV News has received a response from the Viscount's Department, which states: "The Viscount's Department cannot comment on the status of an ongoing coronial investigation. "However, the coroner's officers are in contact with Mr Castrudes' family, and arrangements are being made for a further hearing in relation to his death later this year. "We once again offer our condolences to Mr Castrudes' family and friends for their loss.' ITV News understands that there is a backlog of inquests in Jersey, and this timeline isn't unusual.

Tommy Fury admits to downing '20 shots a night' before Molly-Mae split
The boxer, 26, met Hague on ITV dating show Love Island in 2019 and the pair have a daughter, Bambi. The news of their split in August 2024, just more than a year after their engagement, sparked shock and speculation he had been unfaithful. Fury, the half-brother of boxer Tyson, denies the rumours in his new BBC Three docu-series Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury, saying he started drinking heavily after injuring his hand. He said: 'The reason for our ending the relationship was alcohol.' He added: 'I couldn't train, box, lift weights, that was all gone. 'My right hand was messed up, I was in dire pain, it's just what happens over years of impact on the hand. 'I had lost my entire identity, lost my life.' In the first episode of the show, Fury's father John says he urged Hague to leave his son, saying: 'I knew from dealing with Tyson, when the drinking started to come into play I thought 'Not again'. 'I did say to Molly, because she came to me, what you're best off doing with him, Molly, is walking away, because if he's not going to change himself, he doesn't think that much of you.' Revealing how much he was drinking at the time, Fury said: 'I hold my hands up, drink got hold of me – 20 shots a night, 20 beers. 'Every day I would have a drink and I would drink to get blackout drunk, and that is what led to me not being the right partner to Molly.' Discussing how it impacted him to be unable to fight, he said: 'The only thing that made me feel like I was back in that moment of thousands of fans again was picking up and having a drink, but having a drink was what cost me my entire family. 'The reason why everything went to shit, I went through the worst year of my life, I went through a crisis, was because I couldn't fight.' He admitted he was drunk when Hague eventually walked out, taking their daughter with her. A post shared by Molly-Mae (@mollymae) He said: 'I've never even said this before, but when they'd actually left the house, I was actually drunk at that point, so I don't actually remember it that well, which was even more upsetting. 'I woke up. I was like shit, and I was listening to probably the silence of the house for like an hour. I was like, f***. And that was the last time they've been here. 'I'm not going to lie and say I knew the feeling of what it was like when they walked out – I didn't because I was intoxicated.' The couple have since rekindled their relationship, with Hague saying she believes their relationship is 'worth saving'. Part one of Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury is available on BBC iPlayer and BBC Three, with part two scheduled for later in the year.

(Image: (Photo by)) Boxer Tommy Fury rose to fame after appearing on the ITV reality show Love Island in 2019, where he met his fiancée Molly Mae Hague. The pair took over the internet becoming 'couple goals' for the British public as they showed off their glamorous life as well as their happy family with their daughter Bambi. Although, they haven't had an easy ride, as the couple split in 2024 following rumours and speculation. It was later revealed in Molly's Amazon Prime documentary Behind It All, that their relationship took a turn following Tommy's alcohol reliance. The pair reunited during the second release of Molly's documentary, and have kept their relationship rather private since. Now, Tommy has released his own documentary with BBC Three which he has said shows the 'raw and real side of the 'worst year of his life'. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter . Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury will air tonight, August 19 on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer. In the six part documentary the boxer is said to "open up about his life, legacy and battle to prove his worth - inside the ring and out of it." He told the BBC his reason for creating the documentary. He said: "I was really going through a tough time, and I just thought if there's any time to document this, it would be now. I want people not just to see all the great stuff that they see like winning fights on TV or living the life on Instagram. "I want people to see me going through a difficult time as well. Because that's real life. I wanted the documentary to be raw and real, and that's exactly what you've got." Article continues below Tommy described 2024 as the worst year of his life, having needed hand surgery as well as his extremely public break up. He explained: "2024 was awful. I started last January with a hand surgery and since then it just from went from bad to worse. I had my problems with alcohol, I was absent from the ring, I had problems in my private life and just lost touch with myself. "2025 is completely different. Already this year we've managed to make an amazing documentary. I've had my comeback fight. I'm back in the ring and back being active. My private life has never been better. And yeah, everything is just a complete opposite of 2024." The boxer believes that his initial injury is what started his difficult year, and is what was the root of the majority of his problems "both inside and outside the ring". He continued: "But I've come so far and I've done a full turn. I've gone from having nothing in my life, to living in a house alone, going through the toughest time of my life, to now having everything back and feeling myself again. I'm back in the gym and back training. I'm back in shape. My family's there and I've come full circle. I couldn't be any happier. "In terms of my family life, everything is private now between me and Molly, and we're in the happiest place possible. And that's all that anyone needs to know! Everyone's entitled to a private life and so right now we're going to live our private life, because we haven't had that since we were 19 or 20 years old. "It's all been lived out in front of a camera or on the front page of a newspaper. So now, going forward, we're finally going to take that private time." Tommy Fury proposed to Molly-Mae in July 2023 on a cliff in Ibiza (Image: Instagram/@mollymae) The boxer opened up about their relationship on BBC Breakfast, this morning, August 19. He said: "Because to be a great father you've got to be a great partner too, and you know rolling in drunk and doing all sorts of stuff, no-one wants to be around that and I can't blame - you know what's happened has happened. "I'd have done the same thing. Who wants to be around that? But at the end of the day, that's not who I am anymore." Article continues below You can watch Tommy: The Good. The Bad.
