A student has been left fighting for his life after falling from a third floor balcony in Thailand. Jack Heathcock had just two days left of his "dream summer holiday" when the accident happened.
Two weeks on from the fall the 21-year-old is still critically ill in hospital where he is being treated for extensive injuries including fractures to his neck and pelvis as well as bleeds on his brain and lungs. He has also had operations for damage to his spleen, liver and kidneys.
Jack was backpacking with two pals when the accident happened. His parents, Joy and Ian Heathcock, flew straight out to Thailand after getting the call from one of his friends to tell him about the fall in Chiang Mai.
