One time I was I was disassembling a wood bed frame and a big board fell on my head. I was scared that I would have head trauma like that. I was kind of freaking out. Also, as a kid, I once fell backward out of control and hit my head hard against a piece of furniture. I was bleeding from the back of my head. I guess it's got to hit in you in the right spot with the right amount of force. That sucks because almost everyone would probably just ignore it and go to bed like he did.
Yeah, I've fallen on concrete and hit my head (slipped on ice) years ago and never thought to get it checked. Kind of scary.
Doesn't sound like a bad way to go though, peacefully slipping away in your sleep like that without a clue.
It's more likely he had a severe headache at the end, lost consciousness, and then passed. I doubt he went out peacefully. If he could sleep through a sudden onset of a severe headache, then maybe. Maybe he experienced it as a nightmare? Liam Neeson's wife, actress Natasha Richardson, died from head trauma after hitting her head on a snow-covered rock while taking a skiing lesson and falling. She developed a severe headache after two hours and lost consciousness shortly thereafter lapsing into a coma. She was kept alive on machines for two days before doctors said she was gone and turned off life support.
This is so sad. My friend's 12 year old son died like this a few months ago. Blow to the head, brain bleed, died, all very suddenly. Really hit me hard since I have three boys. My friend is obviously still devastated. Super tragic surreal when this type of thing happens.
This is quite scary. There was a British actress, wife of Liam Neeson, who died of a skiing accident like that. https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/Movies/story?id=7119825&page=1 I slipped at night by stepping on one of my son's toys and fell on the back of my head, it was a really hard fall. I could briefly not feel my hands and legs, and my head obviously hurt a lot. My wife (who is a doctor) told me to go get it checked out, so I went to the hospital. But since I walked in there myself, they were extremely dismissive. They made me wait for a couple of hours without seeing me. So I finally gave up and went home. Fortunately nothing came of it. But I think these cases of head trauma can be really dangerous.
I just heard about the head trauma. That really hits home for me. My father fell off a 15 foot bucket truck on his head. Normally he's stubborn and would have shaken it off and went home but the folks at the work site urged him to go to the ER. He went there and passed all their checks and protocols but as he was leaving the hospital, he seized up. Turned out there was a brain bleed. He was in the ICU for quite some time. Lost all speech function and a lot of motor function. He's recovered fairly well. He was super fit and athletic before the accident but a lot of that was taken from him. I'm just happy he's alive and that he was at the hospital when it all went down. He still lives a good life but every time I see and talk to him, i have flashbacks of what could have been.
WTF... ______ “This is significant trauma,” said Dr. Gavin Britz, the chair in neurosurgery at Houston Methodist. “This is something I find with someone with a baseball bat to the head, or who has fallen from 20 or 30 feet.” Britz noted that the autopsy described fractures to particularly thick parts of the skull, as well as to bones in the roof of the eye socket. “If you fracture your orbit,” he said, referring to those eye bones, “you have significant pain.” https://www.seattletimes.com/nation...eport-describes-severe-skull-fractures/?amp=1
Yes, I found it odd that he would have skull fractures, but didn’t seek medical help. It must have been a hard fall, and he must have been in some pain. But, that’s how it is with a lot of people. They think they will feel better the next day.
That's all I can think of but I haven't seen anything saying the police found evidence of that or much else really.
