Hendrix Greyson (Ben Turland) died in devastating Neighbours scenes, after his body rejected his new lungs.

The popular character, as viewers know, was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis earlier this year, after a persistent cough left him concerned.

His only treatment option was a lung transplant, and despite his fears that he wouldn’t receive a new set of lungs in time, he received a phone call from the hospital, notifying him that they found a match.

The day of the operation arrived in Friday’s (June 10) edition of the serial drama, days after Hendrix married love of his life Mackenzie Hargreaves (Georgie Stone).

Hendrix said goodbye to his loved ones ahead of the surgery, as Mack, Karl and Susan Kennedy (Alan Fletcher and Jackie Woodburne) desperately hoped for the best.

It was a tough night for all of Hendrix’s nearest and dearest, but there was soon reason to be joyful, as Karl notified everyone that the operation couldn’t have gone better.

Mackenzie, on cloud nine, wasted little time in popping into her husband’s hospital room, where she sat by his bedside. Hendrix woke up, delighted to see his wife, believing that this terrifying chapter was at an end.

Tragedy, however, would strike shortly afterwards, as Hendrix struggled to breathe, and a closer look from the doctors led to the discovery that his body had rejected the new lungs, meaning that he’d only hours left to live.

Mackenzie struggled to take the news, as did Hendrix, as they cradled one another in their arms, mourning a future that they would never have.

Hendrix declined to be sedated, wanting to spend every last minute with his nearest and dearest. Karl and Susan, struggling to hold back the tears, told him they they love him very much, telling him that he’s like a son to them.

Pierce Greyson and Lisa similarly said their goodbyes, and with the two of them, plus Mackenzie, by his side, Hendrix passed away in devastating scenes.
