Nightmare in Bali when Australian father on holiday suddenly finds himself in a coma fighting for his life… and now his desperate family has been dealt another brutal blow
- A child’s father was left in critical condition while on holiday in Bali
- He suffered a ‘massive’ cerebral haemorrhage
A father is fighting for life after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage while on holiday in Bali and now his loved ones are saddled with the bill to medivac him back to Australia.
Family and friends have gathered around the devastated family whose dream journey has been turned upside down while in a coma.
Raj, the father of one, is now facing a “life-threatening medical emergency,” according to friend Andrew Macqueen, who said there was nothing to indicate anything was wrong.
Just three days before Raj collapsed, he went “snorkeling with manta rays” and appeared perfectly healthy.

According to his friend, Andrew Macqueen, doctors are unsure about how much damage has been done to Raj’s brain and have told the family that “the road to recovery is long”
“He was put into an induced coma where they worked with both doctors in Bali and Australia to keep him alive and stable,” Macqueen said.
“He is now in critical condition in ICU where we plan to send him back to Australia on a repatriation flight with a team of medical experts and doctors.”
Doctors don’t yet know how much damage has been done to his brain, but have told the family that “the road to recovery is a long one.”
To add to the burden, the family’s insurance has declined support, meaning they will have to pay for his medical evacuation to Australia themselves.
Mr. Macqueen has one GoFundMe Campaign to support the family during his time in the hospital and medical vac.
“Being far away from home only adds to the challenges he faces, making it critical for us to act quickly and ensure his safe return to Australia,” he said.
“We are reaching out to you, our incredible network, in hopes that you can help us raise the necessary funds to cover medical expenses, emergency transportation, and other associated costs.
“Any donation, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in helping us return our friend to a familiar environment and the care he so desperately needs.”
