Fitness trainer dies suddenly while working out on Thai holiday

A father of three has died suddenly during a workout while celebrating his wedding anniversary in Thailand.

Harley Fowler, an athlete and crossfit trainer, was on holiday with his wife and was fitting in one last workout before their flight home when he collapsed.

Friends of the family have set up a crowdfunding page to raise money to bring Mr Fowler and his wife Amanda home to Whangaparaoa, near Auckland on New Zealand’s north island.
