A 25-year-old man has woken from a coma after crashing his motorbike while on holiday in Phuket, Thailand. Liam Kilby crashed his motorbike into the front of a shop on Monday, May 1 and was diagnosed with post-cardiac arrest syndrome and rhabdomyolysis - kidney failure.
He opened his eyes on May 8 to see his mum Mandy and sister Molly, who sold their valuables to pay for plane tickets, reports The Echo. Molly said: "We arrived on May 9, and we could only see Liam for an hour. It was horrible, because as you walk into the ICU there's a window, and we could see him through it, lying there really still. He just didn't look like himself. We walked over to him and he looked at us like he didn't recognise us, like he'd seen a ghost, and then he started crying.
"He's still not good, but he can move his head. He can't speak, but he's awake, he's trying to write stuff down, he's doing a lot better.
