Comped 521 Posted May 17 3 hours ago, RoverAndOut said: Chest/abdomen is quite different from arms/legs/one to the stomach. Many more vital systems in the chest/abdomen - I think Wallace was paralysed post-assassination attempt IIRC? A punctured stomach could potentially mean a stoma or something like that, but I can't see him being paralysed, unless it passed through and struck his spinal column, but I feel like rumours about that may have leaked out by now. Guess time will tell. Getting shot in the arms and legs is not exactly life-threatening. The stomach might be an issue, but it's unlikely to lead to any kind of paralysis or similar issue assuming everything we know so far is correct. Especially because it was only one bullet, which means the requirements for that would be much more difficult than if it had been four or five shots in the same area. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly even Deathlisty, but if Google translate is correct, he says that he's "in his last years", so it may be a slower cancer, and he might be coming forward to get some better prison conditions. Still, a very attractive pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has suffered major injuries in an accident on his private boat, a severe case of COVID that put him on a ventilator, life threatening pneumonia and another fall resulting in a broken back which put him in a wheelchair for several months, all in his late eighties/early nineties. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
