A 23-year-old British national has died in Thailand after a motorbike collision left him in a coma for weeks. Hailing from Milton Keynes, Tiger Duggan had been living in Australia with his brother. 

He was travelling with a friend as a part of his birthday celebrations when he fell from his bike overtaking a car on February 1. He had been admitted to MedPark Hospital in Bangkok for the treatment. After initially being treated at a hospital in Koh Samui he was later transported to the hospital in Bangkok to receive specialist treatment. His family wrote in a tribute: “Our beautiful soft skinned, beautiful long eye lashed boy with a cheeky charming infectious smile that touched everyone’s hearts left this dimension early this morning in my arms.”

His friends has set up an online fundraiser to support them as they spent time at his bed side. Over £200,000 had been raised in an online fundraiser to support his recovery.

An update posted on the fundraising page said: “We want to thank everyone that has supported us in Tiger’s journey from prayers, messages and donations.

“Without those donations Tiger would not have reached his final destination where following his passing this morning in a selfless act has given three maybe four other people a second chance at life by donating his organs.

“We have had 19 days of living a nightmare, please now respect our peace and privacy.”
