The group knew as of Wednesday night that even if L'Homme were to survive the accident he would still be brain dead. "That was the biggest moment, when his father came out and announced to everyone that if Ryan survived he would be brain dead," Price said. "That was one of the saddest things I've ever seen, watching a father have to say that about his son. I never saw his mother. She just refused to leave his side." The surgeon who operated on L'Homme, Mark Cuffe, said that confidentiality prevented him from discussing L'Homme's injury specifically. Ke said that in the case of fatal head injuries, death usually comes from one of two mechanisms. "One thing that can happen is that the patient's brain can swell massively, just like any other tissue," Cuffe said. "The other way a patient can die is with a mass lesion, or blood clot."
