FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A Sydney man has died after leaping from a tower into a river, while tubing in Laos.
Lee Hudswell, 26, of Cronulla in the Sutherland Shire, was on holidays in the south-east Asian country, experiencing the popular river entertainment of floating along on an inner tube.
Brad Haigh, from New Zealand, saw the accident that occurred in the riverside town of Vang Vieng yesterday.
He said that Mr Hudswell jumped from a tower and landed badly in the river about 4pm.
“People put him on his side, and tried to resuscitate him. But nobody knew what was happening. He jumped into the river, which is what everyone does, but there was no first aid on the river and no one knew what to do,” he said.
“He was taken to hospital in a tuk tuk. It was shocking. Last year 22 people died here in the river.
“It was my first time tubing and I never want to do it again. Something has to be done – it’s all good fun drinking and dancing by the river, but when you add the free whisky, tubing and slides, it’s really dangerous.”
The Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed the death.
A doctor at Vang Vieng hospital, who asked not to be named, said Mr Hudswell arrived at about 5pm yesterday after a tubing accident, but died at 6pm.
A spokeswoman said consular officials in Vientiane were liaising with local authorities, and the department was providing assistance to Mr Hudswell’s family.
Mr Hudswell’s cousin, Kelsey Hunter, said his death was “devastating”.
“He was known for his cheeky smile and his fierce loyalty to his family and friends.”
Mr Hudswell’s uncle, Ray Hudswell, said the family had heard he died after falling from a flying fox.
“He was a wonderful, energetic young man. Handsome, popular, and a superb athlete. He will be sorely missed,” he said.
“He had a sense of adventure, he played cricket with Sutherland and rugby leage, and he enjoyed extreme sports.”
Ray Hudswell said Lee’s father would travel to Laos tomorrow.
