A BRIT influencer is fighting for her life in hospital after being found bruised and unconscious in her apartment.

Ashley Surcombe, 29, was found by cops in Seoul, South Korea, with dehydration and multiple organ failure – but it’s a mystery how she ended up in that state.

She is originally from Evesham, Worcestershire, but has lived in Seoul for five years.

The alarm was raised by the content creator’s parents, Nigel and Karen, after Ashley stopped replying to them.

Police broke into the house and found the Brit unconscious on the bathroom floor.

There were no signs of a forced entry – and Ashley lived alone in Seoul, where she has been for five years.

Paramedics rushed her hospital in Seoul where she remains in intensive care.

Kat Surcombe, the sister of the critically ill influencer, set up a GoFund me appeal to cover Ashley’s medical bills and bring her home.

The desperate sibling wrote: “It feels surreal writing this, but my family and I desperately need your help.

“My little sister, Ashley, who has been living over 5,500 miles away in Seoul, was found unconscious and unresponsive in her apartment on Monday, 24th March.

“She’s currently in the ICU with severe dehydration and multiple organ damage. We don’t yet know the full extent of the damage, but we do know it’s serious.”

The sister told the Mail: “We just don’t know what happened and we are trying to find out exactly, but it’s been difficult, and we have had to rely on contacts out there.”

However, Ashley had seemed off in the days before she was found, according to the family.

Kat said: “Her blood sugar levels are very low and when we spoke with her on Saturday, she seemed confused, and you could barely see her lips she was so dehydrated.

“We were supposed to speak with her at 8pm on Sunday (Korean time) but she never answered, and we didn’t get any response from messages so that’s when we called police through a friend of my dad who has contacts out there.”

The black eye was from Ashley smacking her head against a door about a week before she was found, according to the family.

Ashley makes content that is popular in the UK.

She has over a million followers across her social media accounts.

The self-starter is fluent in Korean and had been planning to document her travels across south-east Asia.

According to the fundraising appeal, Ashley’s intensive care is costing around £1,500 per day, and thousands more are needed for tests, scans and medications.

The appeal explains: “Unfortunately, Ashley’s health insurance recently expired, meaning all medical costs must be paid out-of-pocket.

“My parents have already paid a £3,000 deposit just for her treatment, and the expenses are quickly adding up.”

Kat also revealed the news had been a horrible shock for the family, and that she is worried about how her parents are handling it.

Ashley also has a twin sister called Tara.
