That is a quote from the Herald Sun on July 1.He suffered serious head injuries in the fall and doctors found bleeding on his brain.
He now has a 12cm wound at the top of his skull where doctors operated to relieve the pressure on his brain.
Dye has a stress fracture in his back, a collapsed lung and abrasions all over his body.
He is on a morphine drip to relieve the pain, a saline drip and has to use an oxygen mask to help him breathe.
He can't eat any solid foods, drops in and out of sleep every few minutes and regularly wakes coughing, spitting and vomiting blood.
A nurse watches over him 24 hours a day in the high dependence unit and a doctor is just seconds away in case of an emergency.

Body obviously well worn from being stabbed in chest... fallen on by horse... with a spanish dancer attached to one ankle. Plays poker, drives really really fast... probably wrestles crocodiles and other marine creatures, while bringing up three kids and suffering the wrath of the ex. Forgot to mention better looking than Paul "dot com" Phillips.
