webfact Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 An Aussie mum who showed tremendous courage to emerge from a coma and fight against a brain injury yesterday finally succumbed to her injuries. The Aussie mum of three, Kylee Enwright, accidentally slipped and fell and hit her head after enjoying a few drinks with her husband in Khao Lak, southern Thailand in May. As a consequence, the 48 year old grandmother from Singleton, New South Wales, lost consciousness and suffered head and ear bleeding due to the incident and slipped into a coma. The Aussie mum had been making a steady recovery in hospital and was relearning to walk and talk when she unexpectedly suffered a second catastrophic brain bleed on Sunday. by Bob Scott Pictures courtesy of 7News.

FruitPudding Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 Reading the title I assumed it was from riding a motorcycle - which is definitely the single most dangerous thing you could do in Thailand - but she just fell down while walking. It's scary to think you could die from just falling down; shows you how fragile life is. RIP 3

Thanks anchadian....Its no use me getting insurance then---- seems I cant read the large print, let alone the small... Also article starts off with it being a 1.5 meter drop "Kylee Enwright fell 1.5m in Thailand in May" ends up with it being a half meter "Ms Enwright fell off a half-metre high balcony" it does look more like half a meter in the Video.

Lacessit Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 Females are more affected by alcohol than males. "Enjoyed a few drinks" covers a fairly wide spectrum. RIP.

If I recall they had to start a gofundme page because the insurance company wouldn't pay as she'd been drinking. 1 1

Some only cover the time of your holiday. "Alcohol" is excluded in all policies.

Are 'talking and walking' the the best medical indications for wellness following a coma and brain injury? 1

RIP. in this instance "enjoyed a few drinks" means a blood alcohol level of .35. Sad to say she was paralytic. it is surprising she was able to leave the bar under her own power. 1

Don Chance Posted August 16, 2023 Author Posted August 16, 2023 She is about 6' tall. Everything is design for short people in Thailand, so if you are not aware of this it is easy to trip. Step run and rise are irregular. There should be travel warning. Same with balcony and railing heights. Many times railing as absent on stairs completely. So many hazards tourists will take for granted. It is a problem with modernity and growth, it requires a lot of safety. You are safer in Nepal or India because things are low tech, cars are slower. etc.

He blood alcohol level was never checked at the hospital, rather the insurance company inferred a level of 0.35 based on the bar bill, CCTV footage and her body weight. 1

Thanks for coming out tho. 1
