Friends and family 'devastated' after dad of four stuck in Mexico on life support

Messages have flooded in for a dad-of-four who has been placed in an induced coma in Mexico.

Paul McKenna was due to fly home with his family on Sunday, August 21, with his wife, Amy, four children and parents-in-law, but the 33-year-old suddenly suffered a suspected seizure in his hotel room before hitting his head on the floor the day they were due to fly back to the UK. Since the incident, Paul has been transferred to three hospitals and is believed to have either suffered a brain haemorrhage or a stroke, with him currently in an induced coma and on life support.

The electrician from Bootle is now stranded an hour outside of Cancun, with his close friends organising a fundraiser to raise as much money for the family to pay for medical bills and accommodation for the family who are currently looking to rent somewhere more permanent while he recovers in hospital.
