An aspiring medical student was left brain dead last month when his friends pushed him into a Louisiana lake knowing he couldn’t swim — and then looked on while doing nothing to save the drowning man, according to a report.
Shocking video shows the group casually peering into the water moments after they shoved Christopher Gilbert off the dock at Lake D’Arbonne in Farmerville on April 14.It was another 10 minutes before a patron at a nearby restaurant intervened and yanked Gilbert back to land — just in the nick of time.
He spent 72 hours on a ventilator and an ECMO machine, which George described as “dialysis for the lungs.” According to police, his so-called friends initially tried to pass off the near-death as “horse-play.” He is responding cognitively, but cannot speak, according to George. He still relies on life support and his lungs are said to be at 20 per cent capacity.
