How to cure brain-dead clothing
A man who was found unconscious in his bed has had his clothing removed to save his brain.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was found after his sister, a brain-damaged woman, called police.
“He has been sleeping on the bed, and his sister was on the phone,” his sister said.
“When I came home from work I got on the front steps and saw the paramedics.
They were just checking him out.”
The man was found to have an electrical injury to his brain and had been awake for more than two hours.
The incident occurred in September last year.
A specialist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital’s neurosurgery unit had said the man was suffering from “anencephaly”.
A spokesperson for the Department of Health said it was not yet clear if the man’s clothing was the cause of his death.
