Rajiv Jayarajah's family said in a statement on July 10 the young father and husband couldn't be saved, after he was flown to Melbourne by air ambulance.
"Since then, Raj has been surrounded by his family and close friends in Melbourne who have gathered by his bedside to say goodbye," the family said.
A fundraising page was set up a week ago by friend Andrew Macqueen to help cover medical expenses and emergency transport costs to bring Mr Jayarajah back to Australia.
Mr Macqueen wrote the young dad and husband had collapsed with a "massive brain haemorrhage" and had emergency brain surgey before being put in an induced coma.

The page has raised more than $200,000 in eight days for the young family.
The family thanked the healthcare staff who cared for Mr Jayarajah in Bali and Melbourne.
"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," the family said.
"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. We will provide further information soon about plans to commemorate and celebrate his incredible life and the wonderful man that he was."
