Actress and model Emily MacKeogh has paid a heartbreaking tribute to her fiancé and former Rockwell College student Killian Roche, who collapsed and died in Dubai on Saturday. Killian, who attended Rockwell near Cashel from 1999 to 2005, collapsed in the lobby of a hotel after just arriving in the Gulf state on the weekend. Killian was a member of the Rockwell junior rugby team which reached the Munster Junior Cup Final in 2001, and unusually, joined the team when he was only in Second Year. He also played for the senior rugby team. Local Councillor Sean Ryan, who is a teacher in Rockwell, said he remembered Killian as a bright and popular student, and that his death is a shocking tragedy.
