The heartbroken family of a grandfather who died while dangling upside down from a 270ft chimney say public support is helping them cope.
Robert Philip Longcake's family have raised more than £6,200 for the mental health charity Mind after the tragic death.
The 53-year-old, also known as Phil, became trapped atop Dixon's Chimney in Carlisle, Cumbria, when his leg got stuck between the brickwork and a metal ladder.
A desperate rescue mission was launched after he was heard screaming at about 2.20am on Monday, but he was pronounced dead when his body was recovered almost 15 hours later.
Mr Longcake's family say he had been struggling with his mental health after he recently opened up about "historic trauma".
They are now raising money in his memory to help others who are struggling.
In a statement on a JustGiving page, his daughter-in-law Sarah Longcake said: "In light of recent events there has been an outpouring of love and support from friends, family and complete strangers which has been comforting to the family at this tragic time.
"We would like to try and make something positive come out of this and shine a light on mental health as it can affect anyone, it does not discriminate and nobody should have to go through something so heartbreaking.
"Sadly, due to recent disclosures he made about historic trauma he suffered, Phil was battling with his mental health, with the love and support of his family and health professionals whilst trying to overcome this.
"He was a keen motorcyclist and would often spend weekends away with his son, Robert.
"He loved fell walking with his dog Ted and was a passionate musician who played the guitar, piano and accordion.
"He also loved to sing, and did his own covers of popular music.
"Phil was a fantastic granddad to his three grandchildren, James, George and William. They adored him.
"Phil had many wonderful and happy times with his family, and these memories will be treasured by his loved ones."
The JustGiving page features a photo of him with his wife Andrea, son Robert and daughter-in-law Sarah on the younger couple's wedding day in April 2013.
Mr Longcake was identified by his family in a statement released by Cumbria Police on Wednesday.
They described him as a "strong, brave man who achieved a lot in his short life".
Mr Longcake is also survived by his daughter Laura and her partner Darren, his father Bill and his brother John, the family said.
It is thought he first ascended the Grade II-listed chimney at some point on Sunday night.
After he was spotted around 2.20am on Monday police and firefighters began working on a plan to rescue him.
They determined it was unsafe for rescuers to try to climb the ladder and bring him down, and the local fire brigade didn't have an aerial ladder that was tall enough to reach him.
A Coastguard helicopter arrived at the scene but it was determined that the downdraft would likely dislodge the man and cause him to plunge almost 300ft.
Rescuers were using drones to assess the scene.
After a public appeal from police, a giant cherry picker arrived from Glasgow.
But by the time two specialist firefighters reached Mr Longcake it was too late.
He became unresponsive as onlookers watched in horror and he was pronounced dead at the scene at 4.45pm.
Officials said afterwards there was no safe way to bring him down quickly while he was still alive.
Carlisle City Council said he climbed temporary metal ladders put in place for maintenance work within a walled and gated compound.
The lowest point of the ladders was 15ft above the ground.
