TVNZ news presenter and journalist Greg Boyed had been battling “depression”, his grieving family say as they pay tribute to an “adored” son, brother, husband and father.

Boyed died on Monday while on a family holiday in Switzerland with his wife and young son.

The family said in a statement that Boyed, 48, had been “battling depression”.

“Greg was the kindest and most caring man, a devoted father who cherished and loved his two children.

“We are all struggling to comes to terms with this,” the family said.

“He was absolutely loved and adored. A treasured son, brother, husband and father, he will be deeply missed.

This is so very very sad. He was a lovely lovely guy and I doubt had an enemy in the world. A very good broadcaster and interviewer.

My thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues. They will be devastated.
