Jordan Coe, 19, was attempting to get his weight down to 61kg for a fight in Bangkok, Thailand.

Coe, from Maddiston, Scotland, was found dead yesterday by police after leaving his hotel room to train.

He was known in the ring as Jordan Lamnammoon Muay Thai and had been living in the capital city to pursue a career in the sport.

His trainer Kritchai Kritnok told police the Scot went out in heavy clothing in order to shred an extra 3kg ahead of a fight yesterday.

Doctors said he died of shock after he suffered severe dehydration and overheating.

A fundraising page has been set up to help his family get his body home.

The caption reads: "The Thai community will never be the same again, he will be extremely missed.

"He lived for Muay Thai so much so he chased his dream of living and fighting in Thailand and boy did he live it.

"Jordan was one of a kind, he was the most loveable, likeable, caring, enthusiastic young man you will have ever came across, his passion for the sport was incomparable.

"He was an inspiration to so many, a great fighter who made all his coaches extremely proud and always put on a show."

Friends paid tribute to Jordan on Facebook.

JP Gallacher said: "One of my first ever friends and person I met in Thai boxing has passed away at 19-years-old while living in Thailand.

"Never seen him without a smile. Amazing person, fighter and showman."

Craig Floan added: "Absolutely devastated over the passing of my wee mate Jordan Coe.

"What I will say is he loved life and he lived it to the max. An absolute inspiration to many in Muay Thai.

"My thoughts at this time are with Jordans family 1st of all but everyone he has trained with and lived with both in Scotland and Thailand."

This comes as a boxer, 17, died after collapsing just as the ref held up his opponent's hand to declare the winner.
