Gary Lineker’s nephew, Jonty, aged 18, tragically lost his life after being crushed by a falling tree trunk, an inquest has revealed. The incident, which resulted in a fatal crush injury to his abdomen, occurred on September 6 while he was working in Eaton Hastings, Oxon. A heartfelt tribute was shared by George Lineker, Jonty’s 31-year-old cousin, on social media describing him as “one of the nicest boys you’ll ever meet.” Another cousin, Tobias Lineker, 28, also posted a touching tribute, remembering Jonty as a “beautiful young man” taken too soon.
A GoFundMe page has been set up in memory of Jonty to support his family in creating a fitting memorial or event to celebrate his life. The page has raised £32,000 so far. Jonty, who was the nephew of football pundit Gary Lineker, came from Lineker’s first marriage to Michelle Cockayne. As plans for the full inquest are yet to be confirmed, family and friends continue to mourn the loss of the young man.
