A man with a "zest for life" and an "insatiable appetite for love" has died days after crashing his bike in Bali, his family have said.
James Criddle, from Pembrokeshire, suffered a catastrophic brain injury and died after a seven-hour operation to relieve pressure on his brain following the bike crash. His family confirmed James had died in the early hours of July 21 before his distraught parents had managed to get to his bedside.
Posting on Facebook, they said that James had suffered 25 fractures to his skull and had needed an urgent operation after his kidneys started failing. They said: "He was taken down to surgery, but while they were working on him, he suffered a cardiac arrest and despite the efforts of the medical team to keep him alive, they were not able to do so."
