Tragic update after Perth tradesman Shane Ramsey critically injured in Bali scooter crash

The heartbroken family of a Perth tradie evacuated from Bali after he was critically injured in a weekend scooter accident is preparing to turn off his life support.

Shane Ramsey, 30, had visited the holiday island to celebrate a friend’s wedding when he crashed in Seminyak on Sunday morning.

He underwent emergency brain surgery and his loved ones raced to be by his bedside in hospital, desperate for signs of improvement.

Ramsey, from Clarkson, never woke up but was able to be flown on an emergency flight that landed in Perth on Thursday afternoon.

He was then taken by ambulance to Royal Perth Hospital where his parents have now been told the heartbreaking news that he will not regain brain function.

Family and friends have been saying their final goodbyes.

His mother Catherine Ramsey told 7NEWS.com.au she was “numb” but was taking solace in knowing that he is an organ donor who will give the gift of life to others.

Loved ones have described the son, brother and friend as “the most selfless, kindest, gentle soul who would bend over backwards to help any of his friends and family”.

“There are honestly no words to describe what a genuine, beautiful man Shane was and how loved he is by so many of his friends and family,” family friend Amyleigh Mitchell said.

“We are grateful to Royal Perth Hospital for giving all his friends and family the chance to see our beloved friend.”

Ramsey did not have travel insurance and donations from the public have helped pay for some of the mounting medical costs.

His parents may need to sell their house to cover the rest.

“We also would like to thank all of those who have donated money to the GoFundMe for Shane. If it was not for all your donations we would not have been able to bring Shane home and give him the best possible treatment he deserves,” Mitchell said.

“So please just know that Shane’s family have no words to express their extreme gratitude for all the support from those who knew Shane, and even the total strangers who also donated.”

The crash occurred while Ramsey was travelling to watch a broadcast of Sunday’s UFC event being held in Perth.

He suffered a fractured skull, severe brain damage and bleeding in his lungs.

The accident happened just a day after he was a groomsman at a friend’s wedding.

His family were on a plane within hours to be by his bedside at BIMC Hospital Kuta.

His mum said on Tuesday that there was no question he had done significant damage but that they were praying for a miracle.

“The messages that we’ve received have been that Shane is someone who gives so much but takes so little and expects so little,” she said.

“I’m his mum, I love him no matter what, but to hear that he is so selfless is amazing.”

She also spoke proudly about his career shift, moving from working maintenance at a Perth yacht club for 10 years to carpentry.

He had finished his apprenticeship just weeks ago and was excited about his fresh start.

She said she knew that he was well loved, but did not realise just how much until the message of support and financial donations began flooding in.

Mitchell pleaded with scooter riders in Bali to wear helmets and get travel insurance.

“As they were prepping Shane to be put into the medical evacuation, another poor young boy came into the emergency ward at BIMC Hospital, having sustained the exact same injuries,” she said.

“These situations occur way too regularly in Bali and it is absolutely heartbreaking.

“Every day driving to and from the hospital I saw so many Australians and others riding mopeds without helmets.

“I cannot stress enough to those travelling to Bali and planning to get on mopeds, please wear a helmet.”
