More than £21,000 has been raised for Mr Udall and Ms Milward who were on their honeymoon at the time.

Chris Tucker, who set up the JustGiving crowdfunding page, wrote on Thursday: "It is with a very heavy heart that I must type this.

"Our good friend Jon Udall has succumb to his injuries. He was strong, brave and I will never forget him. I will update this page when possible. Ellie is critical and is continuing to fight. "

The Hill brothers and Ms Dobson, who had been celebrating Stuart’s 30th birthday, all died at the scene form multiple injuries.

Hundreds of mourners attended a memorial service in Worthing to pay tribute to them last week.

The helicopter crashed on tribal land in a section of the Grand Canyon outside of the national park where air tours are not as highly regulated.

The cause of the crash is being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board.

Investigators will interview witnesses, survivors, the helicopter operator and manufacturer and others before issuing a full report in at least a year's time.

Preliminary findings are expected before the end of the month.

Following the crash, a Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We are providing support to the families of six British visitors involved in a helicopter accident at the Grand Canyon on February 10, and we are in close contact with the US emergency services."
