Shortly after, Christophers condition improved, thus he told his family and friends that he had recovered and was discharged.

His Family is Fighting to Get Him Home
Christopher's family was shocked and helpless when they were told that it would cost around 20,000 (nearly 180,000 Yuan) to bring his body back to Britain by air. Hillary, a friend of Christopher's launched a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe to help Christopher's family to bear the huge expenses.
Hillary said his family would receive 5,000 (nearly 40,000 Yuan) from Christopher's school, while some treatment costs would be covered by insurance. However, some of the money will take 12 weeks to reach their accounts.
A Nice Guy, Truly Missed
"His friends and family miss him so much! We all remember his fondness for chicken. Whenever possible, he would go to Nando's. Ive never seen anyone else that was so crazy about chicken! He even had a chicken hat for Christmas In college, many times when we got drunk, he would come to check on us in the morning with orange juice, coconut juice and chicken. He would always take care of everyone until they felt better." said Hillary.
"He was kind, funny, and always willing to try new things. Although he was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome (a social disorder similar to autism), it never prevented him from making progress. He had made many achievements and cared for everyone that he met, which had an incredible impact on each of us. " Hillary recalled.
May He Rest in Peace
