Singleton grandmother Kylee Enwright dies three months after Thailand accident

The family of a Hunter Valley woman who suffered a severe head injury in an accident in Thailand earlier this year has shared their grief at her death this week.

Kylee Enwright’s husband, Paul, said she died in hospital on Tuesday.

The couple, from Singleton, had been in Thailand less than 12 hours when Ms Enwright tripped down some stairs and hit her head, leaving a bar in Khao Lak on May 28.

She spent three weeks in Bangkok Hospital in Phuket before flying back to Australia on a medically supervised flight in June.

Nine seats were removed from a commercial plane so Mr Enwright’s wife could be transported on a stretcher with a doctor and nurse supervising.

Mr Enwright relied on a fundraiser, which raised almost $220,000, to bring her home to recover in Newcastle’s John Hunter Hospital.

However, in a post on Facebook yesterday, Mr Enwright said Kylee suffered a second brain bleed on Sunday morning that was “catastrophic and insurvivable”.

“It is with the greatest sadness and heaviest heart that I would like to inform you all of the sudden passing of Kylee,” it read.

Mr Enwright said before Sunday, his wife had been making amazing progress from her initial brain injury suffered in Thailand.

Helping others 

Mr Enwright said Kylee’s organs would be donated.

“Thanks to Kylee’s selflessness and generosity, through organ donation, there will be up to eight people that will receive a second chance at life, and her spirit will live on a while longer through them,” Mr Enwright’s post read.

Kylee Enwright is survived by her husband Paul, her three children Harrison, Jacinda and Slade, her grandchildren Aurora and Leo as well her “children-in-Law Ellie and Xander”.

“Kylee, Rest in Peace, my darling, until we meet again.”
