Well-known entrepreneur and businessman Daniel Reginiano died suddenly at his home on Wednesday. He was 51.

Together with a friend, Mr Reginiano had built up the successful Time International from scratch on the strength of giant brands like Nike and Swatch and later launched the Urban Jungle chain.

He was also known for the popular Joy Parties he used to organise in the 1990s. He made the headlines in 2003 when he contracted typhus following a flea bite during his morning jog.

The self-confessed health aficionado recently took to farming, running the organic Ladybird Farm in Dingli.

His funeral was held this morning.
