An Australian tourist who slipped and fell in a glass swimming pool door has been rescued after his fiancée's desperate blood appeal on Facebook.

Josh Ward, 29, needed B-negative blood after slitting an artery in his upper arm when he slipped on tiles and crashed through the glass door in Bali, Indonesia .

He was staying at the Denpasar hotel and playing with friends in the swimming pool at the time.

Bali currently has a blood shortage and had none of Josh's type.

His fiancée Chantelle Gschwend then made a desperate appeal on Facebook for donors as Josh lay dying in a bed at Sanglah Hospital.

She wrote: "URGENT!!! We are in Bali and need an emergency blood transfusion.
