Description
HIS MOTHER FOUND HIM LYING motionless on the floor. There was a pistol in his right hand and a note explaining his plan to commit suicide. There wasn't much blood except for some that had trickled from the bullet hole at his temple. His eyes were open but empty, as if staring into nothingness. She called his name and shook him to see if he moved. He didn't. She wasn't sure if he was already dead or still had some life in him. She desperately hoped for any chance to save him. He was only twenty years old. His mother didn't know how long ago he'd shot himself. She just walked into the house after buying some groceries and found him on the living room floor, next to the chair from which he'd slid. She called 911. When the paramedics arrived at the house, there were no signs that he was breathing. They immediately put a tube down his throat into his lungs to help him breathe and transported him to the emergency room. The ER doctor examined him and didn't find any evidence of obvious brain activity, but the doctor wanted either a neurologist or a neurosurgeon to determine if the patient was brain dead. A CAT scan of the brain showed how the bullet had shattered the skull at the entry site, went through the entire brain from right to left, and got stuck in the skull on the left side. There was a lot of hemorrhaging throughout the bullet track and the entire brain was swollen.
