The family of 23-year-old Tiger Duggan, who suffered critical injuries in a motorcycle crash in Thailand, have shared the heartbreaking news that he has passed away
The family of Tiger Duggan, the 23-year-old who was left fighting for his life following a crash, have shared a devastating update. The adventurous youngster who had moved from Milton Keynes to Perth, Western Australia, two years ago, has tragically passed.
The young Brit’s family shared the heart-breaking news today as they revealed his death saved lives. Mary Duggan wrote on GoFundMe: “Our son and brother lived life to the max! 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.
“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 3 maybe 4 other people a second chance at life by donating his organs.”
“Thank you all for being apart of Tiger’s journey, we are all #forevergiving we all together achieved #helpbringtigerhome. We have had 19 days of living a nightmare, please now respect our peace and privacy.
“God bless you all. Goodnight our beautiful boy Tiger Duggan.”
Earlier this month, Tiger was left with near-fatal injuries after he was hit by an oncoming vehicle while riding a motorcycle.
He first set out for Thailand on January 16, and was resuscitated at the scene and taken to a small hospital on the Koh Samui island, the Daily Star previously reported.
He was later moved to a hospital in Bangkok, where he remains unconscious and on a life-support machine.
His family had hope their son would be stable enough to be flown back to the UK and had initially raised over £115,000 online to bring him back.
Tiger had moved from Milton Keynes to Perth, Western Australia, two years ago to start a working for gold mining company Westgold Resources.
Milton Keynes Central Labour MP Emily Darlington previously said: “I am shocked and saddened to hear about the devastating accident involving Tiger, a young man from our community who is now fighting for his life in Thailand.”
