BOISE, Idaho (KBOI) — A young boy is expected to make a full recovery after doctors say he was internally decapitated. And for that, they're thanking a good Samaritan who held his head perfectly still until paramedics arrived.
....
It was a stormy day when Killian and his mother, Brandy Gonzalez, decided to make the trip back home to Nevada after celebrating Killian's fourth birthday. ... Ice on the road caused the vehicle to skid out of control, crashing into another car.
At the same time, a Nampa police officer and his wife were coming down the hill and saw the crash unfold in front of them. As the first ones on-scene, they quickly got out of the car to see if there were any survivors. That's when they heard a little boy screaming from the car.
....
Killian ruptured his spleen, broke his arm and multiple ribs. But the worst injury he suffered from was clinical decapitation. A rare condition where his skull separated from his spine. ... Most people don't even survive, but Killian is expected to make a full recovery. He's eating, walking, and even sitting up by himself. All without surgery.
