Coma man wakes after mother’s ‘last goodbye’
10th April 2010
Nick Verron started breathing independently after his mother Sue said a final goodbye to him. She also gave permission for the drugs keeping him alive to be stopped.Mr Verron, 26, opened his eyes and within weeks he was able to sit up and talk again. He is now recovering from the injuries he suffered when he was stabbed in the head with a screwdriver in an unprovoked attack in Bournemouth, Dorset, on July 4 last year.
They just don’t make comas like they used to.
