Young Aussie golfer dies after brain haemorrhage in Bangkok

Horrific.

We have a small restaurant and bar in the sticks. Two of the regulars last year, men in their mid 30's, had strokes.

One has made a reasonable recovery and is working again, the other ....his life is over........still can't walk unaided and struggles to speak.

YOLO

An absolute tragedy- and only 18!

I hope her friends and family can recover in time from this appalling shock

RIP

RIP 🙏

Interesting reading about strokes in Young adults;

What an absolutely horrific story. I wonder how often this kind of thing happens to people that young? Life can be so unpredictable and tragic. My heart certainly goes out to her and her family.

It's pretty rare. Life is fragile and precious

Stroke among young people is rising in the US, don't know about Asia, but most likely due to rising risk factors such as stated below in a linked story. In this girl's case it appears to be a one in a 1000 random event:

"Stroke in young adults is associated with significant morbidity, and its prevalence is rising in the United States. This is partly attributed to a rise in the prevalence of traditional risk factors including hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, diabetes mellitus, smoking and heart disease. The risk factors for stroke in young adults are largely similar to those for stroke in the general population, which are traditional factors including hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, diabetes mellitus, smoking and heart disease. However, there are additional factors that are unique to the young population and further potentiate stroke risk, including migraine, oral contraceptive use, pregnancy and post-partum state, patent foramen ovale and recreational drug use"

To much exposing under tropical sun maybe ? Even with a cap it can be a strain on the body.

Terrible tragedy, RIP.

Troll post removed. @rattlesnake if you try to attack moderation again, by posting support for a removed post again, then expect further action. I will repeat this is the news section, which requires facts, if you want to continue you conspiracy theories, stay in “off the beaten track”

I’ve been there, done that and got the two divets in my head to prove it.

“died after suffering a sudden brain haemorrhage”

The two most common reasons for a brain bleed are High Blood Pressure or, a Head Trauma.

My experience was a head trauma.

I was fortunate to have a Level 1 Trauma Center in my city, nothing like an emergency room. Started slow, and no signs for about a week. By surgery day, left side had no motor skills and couldn’t move arm/leg any. Right side of brain controls the left side of a body.

If she was a golfer, maybe she got hit with golf ball.

Or maybe she had untreated hypertension.

The surgery involved in simple terms: drilled two holes on right side of head, camera on one and suction or something that neurosurgeon removed the blood.

Neurosurgery is some serious brain surgery, I wouldn’t be comfortable it was not performed by an experienced neurosurgeon. Risks, could end up in a coma or paralyzed, or death.

That sucs about the passport/country status/etc - that’s not anything I would choose, esp choosing OZ over Korea.

Let's face it--Life isn't fair. A bright up and coming young 18 year old golfer dies and an old 80 year old washed up has been golfer continues to cheat his way around the links.

It’s called TALENT... 🤷

Rest in Peace Little One, your life had just begun and it was pulled away, whatever caused this episode, rest assured the Lord had plans for you in the afterlife. Peace
