A large group of ‘grief-stricken’ friends gathered on 20 October to remember their newlywed pal who died snorkeling on honeymoon, reports the New York Times.

Dublin groom Andrew Roddy, who celebrated turning 30 just last week, was vacationing in the Maldives with his bride Gill Campion when tragedy struck.

The couple, who tied the knot just over two weeks ago, were in the Indian Ocean’s tropical waters on 17 October when it’s believed Andrew got into difficulty and tragically drowned.

Family have rushed to be with heartbroken Gill as she waits for ­officials to allow his body to be brought home to Ireland.

It’s believed it may take up to two weeks before authorities release it.

Andrew, from Killester, was a graduate of Dublin City University where he had studied business.

He worked in the financial services industry at New Ireland Assurance, along with his wife.

The family are eager to have Andrew’s body returned to Ireland.

Irish diplomatic staff was last night providing consular assistance to his family from their New Delhi embassy — as Ireland does not have an outpost in the Maldives.

The Department of Foreign Affairs said it was aware of the case and was liaising with Andrew’s family.

Local councilman Damian O’Farrell said he was saddened to hear of the incident and he was thinking of the family in their time of need.

He said, ‘I have just heard the news and it is an awful tragedy.’

‘My thoughts and prayers go out to the family, and I am sure the same can be said for all the residents in the area. ‘It is just an awful tragedy.
