An Australian grandmother who suffered a catastrophic brain injury after a horror fall in Thailand has left an incredible legacy after finally succumbing to her injuries. 

Kylee Enwright, 48, died on Tuesday morning after she fell heavily from a timber walkway and landed on her face during a holiday in the beach resort of Khao Lak in southern Thailand at the end of May.

Ms Enwright’s husband Paul confirmed the news of his wife’s passing on Tuesday morning and revealed she had donated her organs to help others in need.

‘Thanks to Kylee’s selflessness and generosity, through organ donation there will be up to 8 people that will receive a second chance at life and her spirit will live on a while longer through them,’ he wrote in a Facebook post.

‘Kylee, Rest in Peace my darling until we meet again. I love you.’ 

Mr Enwright, from Singleton in the NSW Hunter region, described his wife as ‘one of a kind’.

‘Mother to Harrison, Jacinda and Slade, Grandmother to Aurora and Leo, and Mother in Law to Ellie and Xander, Kylee was one of the kindest, most generous people I have had the privilege to know,’ he wrote. 

He added: ‘Kylee passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones. Kylee suffered a second brain bleed on Sunday morning that was catastrophic and un-survivable.’

Singleton MP Dan Repacholi posted a tribute to the ‘much-loved Singleton wife, mother and business operator’.

‘Incredibly sad news to be waking up to, with Kylee Enwright passing away yesterday due to complications from a fall while on holiday in Thailand a few months ago,’ he said.

‘Kylee had been making steady progress but recently suffered a second catastrophic brain bleed and passed away peacefully surrounded by family.

‘Kylee’s legacy will live on after she donated her organs to up to eight recipients.

‘Our thoughts are with Paul and the family.’

Mrs Enwright had been left stranded in Thailand after her insurer Cover-More refused to cover the cost of her flight home.

The firm claimed Mrs Enwright’s fall was caused by her excessive drinking of multiple beers and Long Island ice tea cocktails, even though her blood alcohol level was never tested in hospital.

Instead, the company used the couple’s bar tab, CCTV footage and Mrs Enwright’s bodyweight to calculate an estimated blood alcohol level of 0.35 at the time of her fall – more than seven times Australia’s legal driving the limit.

Her distraught husband, Paul, was unable to afford the $200,000-plus cost of chartering a medical evacuation flight back to their home in Singleton, NSW – let alone his wife’s hospital bill which has already surpassed $50,000.

But over 3,000 generous Australians shelled out nearly $207,000 on a GoFundMe page to help pay for her flight home and ongoing treatment. 

The couple had been enjoying drinks at their resort’s pool bar when Mrs Enwright left to use the bathroom and seemingly mistook a balcony ledge for a set of stairs.

Not anticipating the sharp drop, she plunged down and then forward, face first, and was left bleeding from the head and ears.

Mr Enwright said the insurer’s finding was just an excuse to avoid paying.

‘They’ve always had it in their minds, from the get go, to find a way out of this policy,’ he said.

‘Like most Australians, we took up travel insurance at the level of coverage that we thought was going to be adequate. We thought we’d done everything right,’ Mr Enwright told 7News.

However, the insurer stood by its denial.

‘Cover-More is fair and reasonable in our claims processes and we make our decisions after thoroughly assessing all available details and medical information,’ Cover-More said in a statement at the time.

‘We gave Kylee’s husband, Paul, a detailed and transparent explanation for declining this claim.

‘This is a sad case and we will continue to offer Paul and Kylee and their families all the non-financial assistance Cover-More can.

‘This includes help with arranging repatriation to Australia, assisting with hospital admissions and a ground ambulance in Australia, travel arrangements and making appointments with local medical practitioners overseas or in Australia.’
