Tribute left to dad who died after collapsing in Manchester

A 44-year-old man who was found unresponsive in Piccadilly Gardens on December 23, has passed away.

On New Year’s Day, David Thomas Gidman (pictured), known to many as ‘Giddy’, died in hospital.

David’s family said: “David had a strong presence whenever he walked into any room, he had a great sense of humour and was a funny lad.

“He was always joking and never took himself too seriously, just a really nice lad.

“David was into watching movies and loved being outdoors, walking about. He was always mooching somewhere and never rested.

“His mum Pam and sister Lyndsey tried their best and were always ready to welcome him home. His family love and miss him dearly but know that he is now at peace and back with his dad.”

Flowers and tributes, including a card from his child, have been left to David in the place where he was found near Piccadilly Gardens.
