A BRIT tourist who lost part of his skull in a fall has flown home — with the missing piece in his LUGGAGE.

LEE Charie tells how he lost part of his head in fall

Doctors feared he would die as he spent two days in a critical state before having a quarter of his skull removed to ease pressure on his brain.
Now, after learning to walk again, he has returned from Thailand with it in his hand baggage — hoping British doctors can use it as a mould for a metal plate to reshape his head.

Lee, of Stanstead Abbotts, Herts, said as he recovered at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge: “From being ‘dead’ for two days I came back to life.
"When my head has healed a bit more they are going to try to put the skull back.”

He still does not know what made him slip off the balcony on the island of Koh Tao — or if he was pushed.
