Bunce is full of shit if that's what he's claiming. McClellan was taken to hospital and had an immediate operation on his brain. Benn and McClellan spent the night in beds next to each other in a private hospital ward. From Sunday morning onwards the press were reporting that McClellan had suffered a serious brain injury, had been operated on and it was touch and go whether he'd survive. He was in a coma for two weeks. He was eventually flown out of the country in a wheelchair on a funking drip.
