Bill Survives a Car Crash
Morgan worked as a truck driver, and lived a pretty normal life. One day, back in 1998, he suffered a major car accident. His truck crashed completely, but he miraculously survived. He was rushed to the emergency room, as medics thought he wouldn’t make it.
To their surprise, Bill survived the accident and went home. However, the after math was a lot more serious than any one thought.
Then Dies for 14 Minutes Following A Heart Attack
As a consequence of the accident, Bill suffered a severe heart attack. He was then admitted to the hospital, and his heart stopped for 14 minutes. During that time, the doctors who tried everything, were able to revive him, but he remained in a vegetative state.
The tragedy continued as Bill’s coma lasted for over a week. The doctors eventually advised the family to cut him off life support, since they were convinced he wasn’t going to make it, again.

12 days after he fell into the coma, Bill suddenly woke up. Under everyone’s shock, he was kept in intensive care based on the doctors’ recommendations.
