Devastated sister lays bare young doctor Ash Gordon’s heroic final act before death in brutal Doncaster home invasion – as his father wears heartbreaking reminder of his son

Devastated relatives of a doctor killed in a brutal home invasion have revealed he chased the intruders to protect his housemates before he was fatally stabbed.

Dr. Ash Gordon, 33, woke up on Saturday morning to a gang of thugs breaking into his Sargent St home in Doncaster in Melbourne’s east.

He chased them out of his house and chased them in his car to Elidon St, about 500 meters away, where both he and the intruders left their vehicles and a fight broke out.

Speaking to reporters outside Dr. Gordon’s home on Monday, his sister Natalie said he had been stabbed several times during the altercation – injuries that would ultimately cost him his life.

“We’re really struggling,” Natalie said, choking back tears.

‘..To lose him so tragically.

‘He was the absolute apple of our family’s eye. We were all so proud of him and everything he had achieved in his life.”

‘Mum and Dad are just muddling their way through the days at the moment. His girlfriend is heartbroken.”

Dr. Gordon’s father was seen with a stethoscope around his neck as the family gathered his belongings.

Housemate and close friend Tristen Standing said Dr Gordon was a ‘brave man’ who ‘didn’t think twice’ about chasing the intruders out of the house.

“He was just a protector,” he said.

“He took care of his people. He didn’t think about himself.’

Frightened neighbors called the police after hearing the commotion and discovering the body of Dr. Gordon was discovered a short time later. His attackers are still on the run and no arrests have been made.

Dr.’s girlfriend Gordon told police his attackers stole a few items from the home, including laptops and shoes.

The alarming incident comes amid a spate of recent robberies in the area, including the theft of a neighbor’s car several days ago.

Natalie said her brother, the youngest of five children, was the family favorite when they were growing up on a farm in Hazel Park in Gippslands, 187 kilometers east of Melbourne.

He studied medicine at university before opening his Richmond-based cosmetic clinic Redefine Aesthetics, which specializes in skin health, wellness and anti-aging.

Natalie described her younger sibling as a very “patient and loving” person who “poured his heart and soul into his work as a doctor.”

“He was my best, best, little big brother. He was such a cheeky, light-hearted and fun person,” Natalie said.

‘He gave everything to everyone – in his family and in his work – and put everyone before himself.

“He just wanted to provide the best doctor care he could provide because he felt you needed the best point of contact for your first doctor – and he was that.”

The family and friends of Dr. Gordon gathered in his two-story unit on Monday to begin the arduous process of packing up his belongings.

The group was seen carrying boxes and bundles of clothing from the home and stacking them in the back of a closet.

Wiping away tears, Natalie said the family was working to “bring Ash home” by taking his belongings to Gippsland.

As the family comes to terms with the tragedy, they have urged anyone with information about the incident to contact police.

Natalie had a sterner message for her brother’s killers.

“Give yourself in,” she said.

‘It is an absolute shame for humanity to do something so wonderful to someone.

“The world is a worse place now because he was taken not just from us, but from the wider community.”

Witnesses or anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
