Girlfriend of Olympic bus death cyclist pays tribute

The girlfriend of a man killed by an Olympic media coach while cycling home from work has paid tribute to "the love of my life" on Twitter.

Cecilia Dominici, who lived with Dan Harris, 28, posted a black-and-white picture of the couple together on her Twitter page, with the words: “My silly English boy, the love of my life, my boo. I don’t know how to live without you.”

Mr Harris was near the Olympic Park on Wednesday night when he was involved in an incident with a Stagecoach bus carrying members of the media.

He had begun cycling to and from work due to congestion on public transport related to the Games.

A 60-year old man has been arrested in connection with the death.

Miss Dominici, who was born in Italy, works as a photographer and social media manager for MediaCom. Mr Harris was a social media expert for a printing company, Moo.com.

A statement from his colleagues today said: “We were all incredibly shocked and saddened to learn this morning about the tragic loss of one of our colleagues, our Community Manager, Dan Harris.

“Dan looked after all things social media for MOO and was a popular, entertaining and much loved member of the MOO Crew.

“There are no words that can truly express how much we’ll all miss him, and his infectious enthusiasm, warmth and passion for life.”

A memorial service for Mr Harris is planned for August 10th.
