A family has spoke of their devastation following their daughter's death after a celebratory holiday to Bali. Bella Fidler, 23, returned suffering from "flu-like symptoms" and believed she had picked up Covid-19 on her travels to the Indonesian island to celebrate her law degree ending, reports the Daily Mirror.
She went to hospital on Australia's Gold Coast in December, but quickly became "critically ill" and had a seizure. "The doctors eventually diagnosed her with bacterial meningitis," her parents, Blair and Jodie, shared in a statement to Meningitis Centre Australia.
"Within hours our lives were shattered by the devastating news that Bella had suffered extensive brain damage and was not expected to survive."
