The news was confirmed in an update to the GoFundMe campaign set up for Jayarajah’s family.
“We are so sad to let you know that Raj passed away today,” family friend Andrew Macqueen said on Sunday.
“After arriving back in Melbourne by air ambulance, the team at The Alfred Intensive Care Unit performed a number of tests on Raj and informed us that there was nothing that could be done to save him.
“Since then, Raj has been surrounded by his family and close friends in Melbourne who have gathered by his bedside to say goodbye.”
Macqueen thanked all “the incredible people who have cared for Raj since he collapsed in Bali”.
“We will always appreciate the care you gave Raj, and we know you did everything you could to try to save him,” he said.
“We are shattered to lose Raj so young – it’s a huge loss for so many people who loved him, most of all his loving family.
“It is hard to imagine life without him, and we will now begin the mourning process.
“We know how much Raj was loved and the incredible impact he had on those around him.”
