“The pictures we have of the balcony where she fell are outrageous, you would never get away with that in the UK,” the mother said after flying into Thailand on Sunday. Her daughter had been in Thailand with her partner to ring in the new year when she fell from the second-floor balcony.The 21-year-old will need drains to remove blood and fluid from her chest before surgery.“It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime until Maddi fell from the balcony,” Karen, who runs The Venue beauty salon in Coventry, told Metro. “I’d ask anyone who knows her to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
“Maddi’s partner hasn’t left her side and has been given two plastic chairs to sleep on. They’ve got no belongings with them, it’s horrific,” Karen added.“A friend who is with them woke up to Maddi’s screams as they put the neck brace on. All I know is that she was on the phone to me only an hour before it happened and all seemed well,” Karen said.
