The family of a man who died in Harlow last month have paid tribute to him.
Officers were called to reports of a man found injured behind The Rows shortly before 9.15pm on Wednesday 18 December.
Emergency services attended but sadly 59-year-old Darren Moss was found dead at the scene.
Paying tribute to him, Darren’s family said:
“There are no words that can convey the immense loss we all feel at Darren’s unexpected and sudden passing.
“Darren was a charismatic person who had the ability to find humour in everyday life. He made people laugh.
“When asked what the family will remember most about Darren, everyone has said the same: ‘He made me laugh, he was so funny’.
“Although it is difficult today to see beyond the grief we all feel, we will take comfort in the smiles and giggles he gave to us.
“Rest in peace dearest Darren. We all love you.”
Investigation ongoing
Detective Inspector Stewart Eastbrook said:
“Our thoughts remain with Darren’s family at this challenging time for all involved.
“Specialist officers continue to explore a number of enquiries to build a picture of what led up to Darren’s death, and we would ask for patience and discourage people from speculating while this work goes on.
“I would also like to repeat our appeal for anyone in the area at the time of the incident, or anyone with CCTV or dash cam footage, to contact us.”
As part of the investigation three men – aged 43, 44, and 61 – were arrested on suspicion of murder and have now been released on bail until 10 March.
