'Man of integrity': Aussie father among dead in Ethiopian bus plunge
Friends have described a Melbourne father killed in a fiery bus crash in Ethiopia as a ‘‘man of integrity’’ who devoted his life to his family.
Dawit Fantaye Taye, from Tarneit in Melbourne's west, was initially pulled alive from the wreckage of the bus, which plunged about 80 metres into a gorge north of the capital Addis Ababa on Tuesday, killing 43 people on board.
The father pleaded with his rescuers to "please call my brother" in the final moments before he died, according to the Ethiopian newspaper The Reporter.
The 32-year-old man came to Australia from Ethiopia as an asylum seeker in 2005. Neighbours say he travelled back to his native country to take part in religious celebrations.
