British man Kyle Campbell, 32, has died in Thailand days before he was due to marry his fiancee, Kannika Masasai, his family said.
The plumber from Westhoughton, Bolton, died in his sleep in the early hours of July 30 after being involved in a motorbike crash, on a holiday island, that left him with a head injury. He had travelled to Thailand to marry Kannika, his partner of two-and-a-half years. The family said he had travelled often to meet Kannika during that time.
Family raise concerns over treatment
Mr Campbell was taken to hospital after the crash, where relatives said he received treatment before being discharged only hours after the collision.
His family say doctors gave him the all-clear but advised that he return the following day so he could travel to the mainland for further treatment. The family were informed of his death in the early hours of July 30.
Relatives have described the standard of medical care he received as "inadequate". In a statement on a JustGiving fundraising page, Mr Campbell's cousin, Dianne Fisher, said the family had since been told his care was inadequate and that he later died as a result of his injuries. The family gave no further details of where the crash occurred or the hospital involved.
"His death has devastated everyone who knew and loved him," she wrote.
Kannika, who has been left grieving alongside Mr Campbell's 12-year-old son, paid tribute to her fiance.
"Death takes away the body but love remains, rest in peace my love, and you will always be in my heart," she said.
"I will keep you in my best memories forever my love."
Repatriation costs and travel concerns
The family has launched a JustGiving appeal with a GBP10,000 target, which was quickly reached, to help meet the cost of returning Mr Campbell's body to the UK, his funeral and other unexpected expenses.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said: "We are supporting the family of a British man who died in Thailand."
