Texas Dad Physically Blocks Door to Stop Doctors From Removing Son’s Life Support

A Texas father has physically stopped physicians from removing his brain-injured son from life support. Jonathan Michel, a 39-year-old father from Malakoff, Texas, suffered a severe head injury after falling to the ground June 30. He was rushed to East Medical Center in Tyler, Texas, where doctors found that the impact had caused extensive damage to the left side of his brain – he was almost totally paralyzed down the right side of his body.

The doctors told Jonathan’s dad, Wren, to get hold of his wife, Karen, who happened to be on a mission trip to Africa. Medics insisted that decisions had to be made about Jonathan’s long-term care. But before Karen could catch a flight home, Jonathan’s estranged wife showed up and told the medical team that the 39-year-old would not want to be kept alive in his current state.
