After been rescued by men of the firefighter safety service, Mik Parslow spent extra seven days struggling to recover before he gave up the ghost in hospital. Report from the BBC revealed that Parslow’s death was as a result of the sustained multiple life-threatening injuries in the crash.
Mr Parslow, in his last days, was driving his Toyota MR2 before landing at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. BBC reports that Eric Parslow, father of the deceased has ‘thanked people for their messages of support after the “horrendous” crash.’ He further explained why the Hospital had to cut the life support that was keeping his son breathing.
“He had multiple injuries from head-to-toe and the hospital spent many hours to stabilize him. Being kept sedated and on life support throughout.
“After four days with more surgery his scans revealed that his brain had been damaged to a point beyond recovery.
“Even had his broken body healed there was no hope for any sort of life. The decision was made to remove the life support and allow him to slip away peacefully.”
Friends and families have since his departure been receiving condolence messages from the public. From the Malaysia Toyota MR2 Club, a society Parslow belonged to before his passing, wrote on Facebook, paying tributes, following the announcement of their colleagues’ passing away.
“(We) would like to pay our respects to Mik Parslow from Toronto, Ontario, who tragically passed away.”
According to Dave Bailey, while expressing shock, noted that his cliqs will miss Parslow.
“Such a shock, Mik only came over a few weeks ago in the car. Will be sadly missed by all who knew him. RIP.”
