A father-of-two has died in his sleep while holidaying with his family in Thailand. 

Cameron Degan, 44, had been staying with his wife, Kylie, and children when he was found unresponsive in a hotel bed on Sunday morning. 

The Central Coast father was first discovered by his wife, who immediately began trying to resuscitate him while paramedics were on their way. 

An ambulance arrived an hour later but paramedics were unable to revive Mr Degan.

Ms Degan announced the heartbreaking news on social media.

‘It’s taking every bit of strength to post this,’ she wrote.

‘On our Thailand holiday, I lost the love of my life, my best friend, and Charlotte and Jack have lost the best dad in the world.’

A family friend has since launched a GoFundMe which she hopes will ease Ms Degan’s financial burden going forward.

Despite Ms Degan’s best efforts her husband could not be revived

The fundraiser’s organiser, Ashley Green, said the family is now trying to get Mr Degan’s body back to Australia. 

‘While on vacation in Thailand, Kylie, Charlotte, and Jack lost their beloved husband and father, Cameron. This sudden and devastating loss has left them heartbroken,’ Ms Green said.

‘They have now returned home to Australia and are beginning the difficult journey of grieving and rebuilding life without him.

‘We are fundraising to support them through the significant financial challenges resulting from this tragedy.’

Any funds raised will go towards the costs associated with Mr Degan’s repatriation to Australia, funeral arrangements and other immediate expenses.
