Military death after 31 years in vegetative state

An Israeli soldier has died after being in a vegetative state for 31 years.

Ajami sustained a serious head wound in Lebanon. That happened when a projectile exploded in 1987. He survived, but never came to consciousness again. The soldier spent decades in the hospital. Many visited the Israeli funeral on Wednesday.

The representative of the government, secretary of state Michael Oren, expressed his horror at the ceremony about the 'tragic' fate of Ajami. 'He returned home, but did not return at the same time. 'The sergeant's sister sighed that her brother had never had a girlfriend. 'Because he was only nineteen. And he stayed nineteen. '
