When I lived in London in 1974, the son of a family friend slipped while climbing over a fence and fell abdomen first on a rock. He tore the mesentery and almost died. If his father hadn't taken him to the doctor 'just to be safe' he would have died.

It is possible for someone to have caused similar injuries by accident. I'm not sure that happened in this case though. Virtually impossible to get a straight story out of the media these days.

He’s being charged for manslaughter, which is when death is caused indirectly by the reckless actions of someone. I doubt that Bubaris had the intent to kill Perez, and the autopsy shows that the blow to his gut would ordinarily have not been enough to kill him. However, his alcohol-weakened immune system made even that blow(s) strong enough to kill him. He was also complaining about his stomach when he made the 911 call hours before.

Thanks. I appreciate the report.
