That has to be some kind of record.

The interesting thing is, he is reported to have voted in the 2020 election. His comatose state made him sympathetic to Biden’s candidacy

I pray to God this young man made it up to Heaven when the accident happened, and hence had no sense of the passing of time until his physical body died.

If not, I can't comprehend the nightmare that he lived through.

A very close friend of mine was in a coma for 20 years after a car accident.
Thankfully she finally passed.

There was a teen-ager who woke up from a coma after a few years. One of the first things he said was please don’t put the Barney CD in the DVD player. He said he couldn’t stand Barney.

RIP The Sleeping Prince. Prayers to the Royal Saudi Family.

Imagine the shock if he suddenly woke up and discovered he was a 36 year old man and not a 15 year old boy....................
