CNN) -- A British man is facing a murder charge after his son, 6, died and his daughter, 2, was injured when the trio plunged from a hotel balcony in Greece.
John Hogan is under police guard in hospital following the death of his son Liam, who suffered fatal injuries in the incident at a holiday resort in southern Crete.
Hogan was pictured on the front page of British newspapers Friday in a hospital bed after reportedly telling doctors: "I want to die too."
The businessman's two-year-old daughter, Mia, suffered a broken arm and has been released from University General Hospital in Heraklion.
Hogan, 32, suffered a broken arm, leg and chest injuries and underwent surgery at the hospital Thursday.
After the operation he was transferred to the hospital's intensive care unit, where a spokesman said his condition was improving.
"The patient is getting better and he will be transferred to the orthopedics ward today," he told the UK's Press Association.
"He had a fracture to the femur and the tibia and he has been operated on for these fractures. He is now breathing with a face mask and is awake and fully aware," the hospital spokesman said.

As much as I'd like to agree with this hotel director (see bolded part), I thought that was pretty unprofessional of him to say that, don't you think?
