EastEnders Crewman Leaves ICU After Colombia Fall as Fundraiser Surpasses £30,000

Community donations now fund his care, aiding plans to bring him back to the UK.

Overview

  • Electrician Connor fell from the roof of an 11-storey building in Colombia over Christmas and underwent multiple life-saving surgeries.
  • A new update says he has been weaned off sedation and oxygen, moved out of ICU, is sitting up, eating soft foods, and is in good spirits, with further operations still required.
  • His mother, Denise, remains at his bedside in Colombia, after he previously spent nine days in a coma.
  • The GoFundMe launched with a £26,000 goal has now raised more than £30,000, with donations from numerous EastEnders cast members.
  • Organisers cite uncertainty over travel insurance, saying the funds will cover ongoing treatment and specialist transport to the UK, following Jake Wood’s Instagram appeal that amplified support.
