Ya I just read an article where the doctor said the reason he's alive right now is due to having a thick, muscular neck which helped keep his windpipe intact. Apparently his throat was almost completely flat though, ugh. I can't even imagine.

Word is he may even be able to make a full recovery, though obviously this year's out of the question. They also don't know if he'll ever be able to speak again. Just a crazy situation.
