The worker was found unresponsive in a hotel in Antalya, Echo reports.
Tyler’s uncle, Alex Price, has now remembered his Manchester United-mad nephew in a touching tribute.
Alex said: “He was an energetic, exuberant young man who was just settling into his life.
“He had a steady job, had just got a new car and was starting to think about moving in with his girlfriend.”
Alex said his family believes Tyler woke up early and went for a walk or to get food.
They believe that the most likely explanation for the tragedy is that Tyler pressed the button for the elevator and it went inside without him being there.
Alex said: “We believe he fell at around 4am our time as he had been texting family members just before saying he was having a good time.”
Tyler’s family now face the difficult task of repatriating his body from the UK.
They have now started a GoFundMe to help cover the cost of repatriating his body and to support the family.
Alex also paid tribute to the GoFundMe: “A young man full of personality, kindness and compassion with his whole life ahead of him.
“He was completely devoted to his family and girlfriend Molly. We are all absolutely devastated.”
