Father-of-two left fighting for life after 30ft horror fall from holiday hotel balcony
A father-of-two was left fighting for his life after falling around 30ft from a hotel balcony in Lanzarote due to an undiagnosed chest infection, friends have revealed.
Friend Toni Albiston, who has launched a GoFundMe appeal, said Dan was flown over to Gran Canaria - a flight medics feared he might not make - and had surgery to relieve pressure on his skull. She said: "Dan was on the balcony and Ashleigh was inside the other room talking to her sister. This was on the first night. They had only been there for about six hours or so.
She added in the GoFundMe blurb reads: "He was flown over to Gran Canaria and was told he may not make the flight. But he made it there and went straight for brain surgery for a fractured skull and to relieve pressure on his brain.
