My brother was a hero

Mar 19 2006

Laura Kemp, Wales on Sunday

THE sister of a tsunami victim has discovered her brother died a hero when the wave struck.

On a pilgrimage to Sri Lanka, Jenny Lees, from Denbigh, found that Phil Nicholas had saved people at the Arugam Bay resort on Boxing Day, 2004.

Jenny thought he died when his hotel collapsed, but locals told her he had died a hero.

“When I met the local community leaders, they told me he was clever. There was one wave and then Phil saw a second coming in and he was able to get a number of people out of the hotel.”
