His partner of six years, Alana Dredge, shared a touching post on social media to pay tribute to the luxury Rolex salesman.

An Instagram photo showed the couple smiling in a rooftop pool – the last photo taken of them together.

She wrote: “My darling, I can’t believe you’re gone. That was just two weeks ago and now I’m never going to see you again.

“The last thing you said to me was that I love you. I will take care of you forever, being with you was the best six years of my life.

“I hope you are reading this from above, I will continue to make you proud.”

The hairdresser added: “My life will never be the same, I can’t explain how much I love you. I will never stop loving you – I’m so numb I can’t cry anymore.

“I have never felt pain like this, you were the only person who could give me comfort like no other and make all my pain go away.

“Now that you’re not here, I don’t know what I’m going to do. I love you, Oliver, more than I can put into words.”

Police released images of two men they want to locate after the robbery.

The men, who were not armed, entered the store in Kew Road and assaulted Oliver before stealing a quantity of high-value watches.

Oliver was not seriously injured.

However, police confirmed that the victim, from Surrey, has now died.

His death is not being treated as suspicious, police officials said.

A spokeswoman for Surrey Police said: “Officers were called to a location in Shepperton on Sunday, May 26, shortly after 8.15pm following a report of safety concerns.

“A man in his 20s was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. His family members are aware and are being supported.

“Investigations are still ongoing but his death is not considered suspicious.”

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “We are aware of the death of a man in Surrey on Sunday 26 May.

“This is being investigated by officers from Surrey Police and is not being treated as suspicious at this time.

“The man who died was the victim of a jewelry store robbery in Richmond on Saturday, May 25th.

“We ask that his family’s privacy is respected at this difficult time and that CCTV footage of the incident involving the victim is not shared on social media.”

Anyone who recognizes these two men or has information that could assist police is asked to call 101 or ‘X’ @MetCC and quote CAD4555/25May.
