A survivor of the 7/7 terror attacks on London has been described as the Manchester bomber's 23rd victim after being found dead at his home.

Tony Walter, 52, had struggled to come to terms with the 2005 attacks and had been left distressed by the atrocities in Westminster and Manchester, friends say.

The Sun reported Mr Walter was found dead from a suspected suicide at his home in Tottenham on Wednesday.

Paying tribute, sister-in-law Sheila Walter said: “It’s a tragedy and we’re devastated.

“Tony was such a lovely man.”

A friend told the paper: “Everyone that knew Tony believes he is the 23rd victim of the Manchester Arena attack.”

“He didn’t want to live in a world where these ­terror attacks continue,” the friend said.

“After the Westminster attack Tony really struggled. He was off work for a few days saying he couldn’t cope with how it brought back the memories of 7/7.

“Eventually he returned to work but seemed so withdrawn and glum. We were worried about him.

“When he didn’t appear at work following the Manchester Arena atrocity, his colleagues began to get worried.

“He’d not been in a good way and people were concerned at his state of mind.”

Mr Walter, who worked for a London legal firm, was just yards from extremist Mohammad Sidique Khan when he blew himself up as a Tube train left Edgware Road on July 7 2005.

The attacks killed 52 people and wounded another 700.
