An Alberta teenager is in a coma following an alleged assault that fractured his skull during a family vacation at an all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic, several Canadian media reported.
Around mid-January, Chase Delorme-Rowan celebrated his 19e birthday in Punta Cana. His two brothers accompanied him to the all-inclusive bar, which was not identified by the authorities, to mark the event.
“I thought it was a safe place, so I let them go,” Cindy Rowan, the mother of the three boys, told Global News.
She would never have guessed that her son would become an assault victim.
The latter was allegedly involved in a fight. A Nova Scotia man is suspected of dropping or dropping the teen on his head, causing a concussion, according to the mother’s GoFundMe page.
Chase has been in a coma for a week, in a hospital in Punta Cana.
-Ms Rowan told Global News that her two other sons went to look for her in a panic. When she arrived at the bar with her husband, she saw an ambulance and her son in distress. He underwent surgery some time later.
“They removed a blood clot the size of a grapefruit from his skull,” she told the Canadian media.
Doctors told her that she needed to prepare for the fact that her son could die. The teenager has suffered several epileptic seizures since the alleged attack and is in an indefinite coma.
Chase’s father and brothers returned to Canada last Thursday, but his mother and grandmother remained in the Dominican Republic. They got a hotel room near the hospital to stay with the young man.
