‘At this moment he has his left leg amputated, a punctured lung in which they found 6-7 pieces of metal, other bone fractures and internal bleeding,’ wrote a friend on Facebook.
“He is on a respirator. They don’t yet know if he has suffered any brain damage, as he is too fragile to undergo a CT scan.”
TO GoFundMe It was created to help him return home and support his family, who have traveled to the Southeast Asian country to be by his side.
