- He had actually been required to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a vital condition
- A neighbour raised the alarm after examining the Carters Ridge residential or commercial property after not speaking with his good friend for days
A pal went to look at Tom Killen recently after not speaking with him for 2 days, and found him by a dam on his Carters Ridge home in south-east Queensland.
Emergency services teams got here on the residential or commercial property at 7am on Tuesday where they discovered Mr Killen covered “head-to-toe” in mud.
Queensland Ambulance Service operations manager Shaun Bright stated at the time that Mr Killen was experiencing believed hypothermia and serious dehydration.
Mr Killen was taken by ambulance in an important condition to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, about an hour’s drive away.
Neighbour Simon Martin stated at the time that he thought Mr Killen was examining a watering leakage on his residential or commercial property.
” Apparently there was a water leakage in the watering pipelines … so he needs to have ventured up [there] and it got too difficult for him.
” All older individuals should have much better. There’s insufficient look after them.”
Mr Killen stayed in medical facility in a crucial condition for a number of days however cops on Monday validated he passed away over the weekend.
A report is being gotten ready for the coroner.
