7 May
Summary
- Australian tourist Luca Loveday mysteriously collapsed in Bali.
- She suffered multiple brain bleeds and a fractured skull.
- Her family is raising funds for medical fees as insurance is insufficient.
An Australian woman, Luca Loveday, 29, is in intensive care in Bali following a mysterious collapse during her holiday. She fell to the floor at a restaurant, hitting her head and suffering multiple brain bleeds, a fractured skull, and brain swelling. Doctors are monitoring her condition, but the exact cause remains unknown, with possibilities including a seizure or fainting.
Loveday's sister, Rikki, and other family members have rushed to her side in Bali. They are unable to fly her home as she is not stable enough for travel. The family has launched a GoFundMe to help cover significant medical fees and eventual repatriation, as Luca's insurance is insufficient. Over £13,000 has been raised so far to support her ongoing treatment and recovery.
Loveday is described as a vibrant, kind, and caring individual who loves to travel. Her family is facing an overwhelming and frightening experience as they remain by her side in Bali. They are focusing on her recovery one day at a time, with eventual rehabilitation and time away from work expected. The financial strain of medical costs and urgent travel to Bali is considerable for the family.
