Connecticut Woman Mauled By A Chimpanzee Remains Critical
Connecticut Woman Mauled By A Chimpanzee Remains Critical, Charla Nash, 55, who was mauled last month by a chimpanzee remains in critical condition at the Cleveland Clinic with her potential for recovery unclear.
Charla lost her nose, upper and lower lips, eyelids and both her hands in the attack, as well as the bony structures in her mid face area. While these wounds have been stabilized, critical issues still remain related to a significant traumatic brain injury and injuries to her eyes that threaten her vision and the full extent of these injuries, and her potential for recovery, if any, remain unclear at this time,” stated Cleveland Clinic.
(PIC) Travis is seen here as a younger chimp, with his human being, who considered him her child.
For those of you who missed the first post, Charla was mauled February 16 by her neighbor’s pet 14 year old chimpanzee, named Travis, in Stamford, Connecticut.
Police had to shoot Travis to halt the attack on Charla, and he later died of gunshot wounds.
Fortunately Charla Nash was transported to the famed Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, where the nation’s first face transplant had been performed so she is in good hands. Yet they have stated that, ”any consideration of reconstructive options is premature at this time.”
