The family of a British pensioner struck down with a brain haemorrhage are in a state of desperation as they battle to bring him home from Cambodia.

Richard Kiddle, 69, suffered a stroke on May 1 which left him paralysed in half of his body. The ex-pat, a retired electrician from Norfolk, England, was rushed to a hospital in the capital Phnom Penh - where he has been living for the past two weeks.

 

However, his family have been told that his insurance company will not cover his treatment in the Southeast Asian country. Richard's relatives decided to take him home instead through a subsidised medical program at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital - which would cost at least 16,000 GBP.

But when the money was ready and he was about to fly home on May 15, Richard unexpectedly developed pneumonia. His unstable medical condition meant he could not be given medical clearance for the flight and remained unconscious in the ICU after a septic shock.
