Young newlyweds who ‘suddenly’ died in marital home to be buried together

A young couple in their 20s died just days apart and a month after tying the knot in Ireland.

The community in Tipperary, Ireland, is mourning the sudden deaths of Adam Hencek and Tomas Feuller.

Adam, 23, died unexpectedly at their home on Tuesday last week, according to a funeral director in Clonmel.

His partner, Tomas, 25, then died on Friday evening, also at home.

The couple, who hail from Slovakia and were living in Carrick-on-Suir, died a month after getting married.

Adam’s aunt, Mirka Kohutovicova, launched a fundraiser for her nephew and his husband following the tragedy last week to help with the funeral costs.

She said: ‘I am fundraising for the joint funeral of my nephew Adam Hencek and his husband Tomas Feuller, who tragically passed away on the 02.06.2026 and 05.06.2026 respectively.

‘We would greatly appreciate any donations to help fund the wake and the cremation of the newlyweds.’

Within days, the GoFundMe had reached its target of €12,000 (£10,352).

Tributes have poured in from the community after news of the couple’s deaths spread.

Adam’s former piano student wrote online: ‘So sad. Adam taught me piano briefly, he was a brilliant teacher and a gentleman. My thoughts are with Adam’s family and friends at this awfully sad time, may he rest in peace.’

Another person wrote: ‘Very sad to hear this. We met Adam and Tomas last year through work and their energy and love of life was infectious.’

A third person said: ‘This is devastating. Two young men,in the prime of their lives, passing so unexpectedly. My sympathy to their family and friends.’

Another tribute said: ‘RIP to this handsome couple Adam & Tomas, so very sad, condolences to both of their grieving families. May they find comfort in the memories of happy times shared together.’
