A 28-year-old from New South Wales, Dylan Watts, died just days before his 29th birthday after a rare bacterial infection left 72 holes in his lungs. Despite years of worsening health, his family said the loss was still a shock. Doctors had warned Dylan he was unlikely to live past 30. His younger sister, Caitlyn, told Daily Mail Australia that his condition had deteriorated rapidly. “Last July, he’d already spent three weeks in the hospital after coughing up blood. The doctor said if he hadn’t gone in, he wouldn’t have made it.”
