Survivors Information

The section on people who have survived this is longer than the actual article. It also needs a cleanup. If nobody objects, I'll do it in the next week or so. Osakadave ( talk) 21:24, 27 March 2011 (UTC) reply

Does anyone have any actual information on Joseph Brodie? Someone added him to the list of internal decapitation survivors, but I can't find any definite answers to whether or not he actually was.

I'm assuming that this Joseph Brodie is the one the anonymous contributor meant, and in 1994 a Joseph R. Brodie was indeed in a skiing accident that "caused Joseph to suffer life-threatening injuries" -- but there's no mention of what kind of injuries, or if it's even the same Joseph Brodie.

So... more information needed. -- Erik Siers ( talk) 00:54, 28 May 2012 (UTC) reply

Another case is Jessica Walberg, 21 years old and was in a car accident. Neck was fused from skull to c4 at St. Davids trauma center in round rock, TX and is not walking with a cane and talking.

Another survivor in Lakewood, Colorado. http://www.9news.com/story/news/local/2014/11/13/centennial-man-survives-rare-internal-decapitation/18968115/
