EastEnders star Ashvin Luximon has passed away at the age of 38.
The actor, who played schoolboy Asif Malik on the popular soap, died unexpectedly from an aneurysm on 23 July, his family revealed.
Ashvin appeared in EastEnders from 1999 to 2003 for 146 episodes.
In a page paying tribute to him, his family said: “Ash’s unexpected passing has hit us all hard, but we want to take the time to remember his larger-than-life spirit.
“He loved and was loved by so many. He sang a mean karaoke tune and had a voice loud enough to hear from space! He brought laughter and the best cuddles.
“Please use this space to share thoughts, photos and memories. Please be respectful.
“As a family, we would like to ask anyone who would have made a floral tribute to instead donate to our chosen charities, the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (Ash was the ultimate Uncle) and Andy’s Man Club (a charity aimed at helping men talk).”
