A Perth man at the centre of a desperate international medical evacuation effort after he fell critically ill during a dream holiday has died. Dave Crocos, from Bicton in the city’s southern suburbs, was surrounded by loved ones at a hospital in Brisbane when he took his last breath on Wednesday evening. The Melville Softball Club took to social media to pay tribute to Crocos, who they said will be “missed dearly”.
Cruise doctors were unable to help and the decision was made to evacuate him to the nearest suitable hospital on land, in American Samoa. While they knew the situation was grim, doctors on the South Pacific island were unable to identify exactly what was wrong. They flagged it could be a bladder issue, but were not 100 per cent convinced. “Time’s against us,” his son Mathew Bierberg told 7NEWS.com.au last week. “My mum and sister are with him in hospital, sleeping on the floor.
