A British man has died three weeks after a motorbike crash in Thailand left him in a coma. Tiger Duggan, 23, from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, sustained severe head injuries when he was knocked off his bike while overtaking a car.
Mr Duggan had been travelling in Thailand since January 16 after working for a gold mining company in Perth, Western Australia. He was in the country to celebrate his birthday.
His mother, Lisa Duggan, a neonatal nurse, flew to Bangkok with her husband Kieron and their son River to be at his bedside. The family described the past 19 days as a 'living nightmare' and paid tribute to their 'beautiful soft skinned, beautiful long eyelashed boy with a cheeky, charming infectious smile'.
More than £200,000 was raised through an online fundraiser to cover medical expenses. In a statement on the fundraising page, the family confirmed that Mr Duggan had died and that his organs were donated, giving 'three maybe four other people a second chance at life'.
Mrs Duggan previously criticised the lack of support from the Foreign Office and the travel company, which refused to pay for the medical bills. The family spent over £120,000 on hospital costs and an internal flight for his transfer from Koh Samui to Bangkok.
