A 28-year-old man in Australia died suddenly days before his birthday. Reports said he had 72 holes in his lungs.
First, Dylan Jay Watts lived in Moruya on Australia’s New South Wales Coast. He was a father to an eight-year-old son. His family and friends said they felt devastated by his death.

Next, Watts died from a bacterial infection on March 22. In 2021, a scan found two holes in his lung. Over time, his health worsened, and he had reflux, tiredness, and a long-lasting cough.
Also, he started specialized treatment in early 2024 after three weeks in hospital. He went in after coughing up blood, which doctors said could have killed him. By mid-2024, reports said the holes had increased to 72.

Finally, his mother began planning long-term care after picking him up. He died five days later, despite staying hopeful. A GoFundMe now aims to help cover funeral costs.
