Westgate Common ARLFC, the team Moran played for, confirmed his death in a post on Facebook over the weekend. 

“After receiving the most horrendous news and a couple of days to process, as a club we would like to pay tribute to Chris Moran,” the statement read.

“We came together yesterday as a rugby family to support each other and our hearts are with all Chris’ family and friends. Chris was genuinely one of a kind, with an aura around him wherever he went.

“There’s so much more that could be said that a Facebook post doesn’t do it justice, but as a loyal supporter, sponsor, player and friend of Westgate, he will forever be with us.” 

According to the report, Moran died on the scene after a civilian stopped to render first aid. 

A GoFundMe account set up for Moran said he was in the U.S. for a bachelor party.
