Dr Alex George back at work on NHS frontline following brother’s tragic death

Doctor Alex George has returned to work following the sad death of his younger brother.

The A&E doctor, 30, tragically lost his brother Llŷr, who was 10 years his junior, last month.

Llŷr died suddenly, with Alex announcing he had lost him to mental health.

And now Love Island star Alex has shared that he is back working on the NHS frontline at University Hospital in Lewisham.

Alex updated his fans on his return to the medical unit in London by sharing a selfie of himself onto his Instagram page on Thursday.

He could be wearing blue scrubs in the snap and had a stethoscope hung around his neck.

The healthcare professional captioned the offering: "Good to be home."

Alex announced his brother's sudden death on July 24.

"I can’t believe I am actually writing this post. I have lost my beautiful little brother to mental health. I love you so much Llŷr," he penned.

"The kindest and most caring soul. I was so proud of you starting medical school next month, you would have been the most incredible doctor.

"We are hurting so bad. No words can explain. As a family we are devastated. We love you and miss you so much. Please rest in peace x Our boy"

Just a few months ago, on March 3, Dr Alex heaped praise on his sibling Llŷr.

Alex shared an image of himself wrapping his arms around his brother's shoulders as they posed up together in the hospital where he works.

Alex was dressed in green scrubs and had a stethoscope around his neck, while Llŷr was dressed smartly in dark grey trousers and a white shirt.

The doctor was proud as he revealed his brother was going to start training to become a doctor.

Alex wrote: "Brought my little brother to A&E today for work experience, he wants to follow in my footsteps and become a doctor

"Not going to lie I am proud AF!!! Theres 10 years between us and he will be among the next generation of doctors on the frontline of our NHS"
