Shot dies after 54 years in hospital

A man from Scotland died after a hospital stay of almost 55 years.

The man was in a vegetative state. He learned three words saying: home, pub and horses. 'Over time, we found a way to communicate with him. He was totally spiritual, but could not communicate with us at all, 'says his brother Karl. 'We often took him on vacation and the hospital knew how much he loved the pub, so they brought him there occasionally. 'The family is very grateful to the hospital.
