I think you might be right.

Without writing him off yet, with such wound to the head, IF he survives, you can be sure that he's in for a couple of tough years into recovery. Cranial traumas are no jokes to deal with.

This seriously bums me out. You follow someone and you get to feel like you know them. I can't imagine how his family and friends feel. Truly frickin tragic.

At least they caught the POS:mad:
