Young dad passes away suddenly, doctors make shocking discovery in his lungs

Dylan Jay Watts, a 28-year-old father from Broulee, a small coastal town on Australia’s New South Wales coast, was diagnosed with fatal infection on his lungs.

The bacterium left this young dad with staggering 72 irreparable holes in his lungs that led to his sudden passing just days before he was to turn 29.

Dylan was described as a devoted father who loved life. When his son was born, he posted a heartfelt post, saying, “Words cannot describe how much more purpose I feel with you in my life!”

Speaking of Dylan, Cheyenne O’Brien, a family friend, reflected on the situation, saying that despite Dylan’s prolonged illness, his passing came as a shock to his loved ones.

“Although the 28-year-old had been gravely ill in the weeks and days leading to his passing, his loved ones were shocked by his death,” she said. 

Dylan’s sister, Caitlyn, shared with Daily Mail Australia, “I found out in July of last year how severe things had begun to get, that he had holes in his lungs and had been in hospital for three weeks after coughing up blood.” She added, “His doctor told him if he hadn’t got in so soon, that could have killed him.”

Sadly, Dylan battled constant health problems—coughing, reflux, fatigue, and mental struggles. When basic treatments failed to help him, he finally sought expert care in early 2024, after a lung hemorrhage put him in the hospital for three weeks.

His sister said that at that point, he was taking so many meds that it could fill an entire backpack.

“He was severely unwell yet fighting for his health and optimistic about some kind of recovery,” Caitlyn said. 

However, the condition got to severe that doctors told him he wouldn’t have make it past his 30th birthday. Sadly, he didn’t even got to celebrate his 29th.

The GoFundMe page the family set up to help them with the funeral costs read, “Let this be a reminder that those you love can be gone in an instant. So, hold them close today and tell them you love them. There is a fragility in all of us.

“His memory and his story will be remembered by many who loved him, and he will be forever missed.”
