This is a story of someone who refused to die despite the condition he was left in after a horrific accident. A forklift ripped the guy in half, but he implored rescuers and his family to do everything they could to save him, even if it meant being a “head on a plate.”
Loren Schauers, 20, of Montana, begged to be kept alive despite the risks after his body was severed by the forklift in a tragic accident in September 2019, according to his wife, Sabia Reiche, 23. He is now documenting his recovery on YouTube with his wife, but the couple says questions about their sex life are ‘disrespectful.’
He was operating on a forklift on a bridge when he fell 50 feet and was crushed by the lift, which severed his arm and crushed his lower torso. Following his appeal, his family was faced with the difficult dilemma of whether to urge doctors to rescue him.
The physicians had no choice but to split him in half, but they also ran the risk of having to face him alive and having him reject his new state. When asked if he wanted to have the surgery, the construction worker gave the physicians a “dead in the eye” look and requested the life-saving procedure, reported The Mirror.
The young man has bravely spoken about his recovery, saying he lost his legs and right forearm three years ago. The former labourer from Great Falls in Montana, USA was involved in the freak accident while working with a forklift on a bridge, with traffic forcing him to get too close to the edge.
He fell and was crushed by the forklift and was not given much chance of survival. But he pulled through and people are amazed by his character.
In order to preserve his life, doctors conducted an emergency Hemicorporectomy (HCP) on him, which meant everything below his waist was severed.
