Key detail revealed as Aussie fights for life after fall in Thailand

More details have come to light after a travel insurance company declined to cover an Australian woman after a fall in Thailand because she was allegedly drunk.

The husband of an Australian woman who is in a coma fighting for life in Thailand after falling and hitting her head has revealed a key detail about the tragic situation.

Kylee Enwright’s family are desperately trying to raise funds to cover her extensive medical treatment and medevac her home after their travel insurance company cited bar tabs and CCTV footage to prove she was allegedly drunk, voiding her coverage.

The bar tab reportedly showed nine long island iced teas and 14 beers, but her husband Paul Enwright has claimed the bar tab was still open when they were rushing to hospital.

He told A Current Affair drinks could have been added to his bill and claimed they could not have drunk that much.

“I don’t think she had drunk an excessive amount,” he said, but did not deny his wife was tipsy.

Shocking footage of the May 28 fall shows Ms Enwright falling face first from what appears to be a deck onto a footpath after appearing to misjudge her step.

The couple run a pest management business in the Hunter Valley together and were only at the start of a fortnight-long holiday together in Phuket.

“I’m not going to deny we had drinks,” Mr Enwright told ACA.

“But we weren’t out driving the car, out on scooters, we weren’t out playing in traffic.

“We were sitting in a pool bar on our holiday, enjoying ourselves like anyone else would.”

Speaking to The Newcastle News, Mr Enwright revealed he didn’t know about the alcohol clause in their Cover-More travel insurance.

He told the publication that the insurer and its investigators swiftly secured footage from around the time of the accident and the pair’s bar tab.

Mr Enwright believes they used this to determine Ms Enwright could have had a blood-alcohol level of 0.35, although no blood tests were taken from Ms Enwright when she was admitted to the hospital.

Cover-More’s product disclosure statement suggests that a blood alcohol concentration reading of 0.19 or more can void an insurance claim.

The horror fall was captured on video.

According to the family, Ms Enwright’s medical bills have surpassed $50,000 and are on the rise by over $5000 each day, with a flight home in her condition expected to cost upwards of $200,000.

While refusing to comment on specifics of the case, Cover-More told The Newcastle News its claims process is “fair and reasonable”.

“We gave Kylee’s husband, Paul, a detailed and transparent explanation for declining this claim,” it said in a statement.

“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.”
