Handrejka 1,842 Posted March 6, 2016 Is the amputation confirmed as true? I thought it was just internet rumour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted March 6, 2016 Is the amputation confirmed as true? I thought it was just internet rumour. It seems to be - at least no one on any of the SF forums/Darrow fanclub is rebutting it. I will search around a bit more for solid confirmation. In that photo he looks like someone who has just had his legs chopped off anyway. EDIT: Random online person claims to have seen him in a wheelchair. Person posting was apparently unaware of the rumours at first: http://raoc.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=5503207&goto=nextoldest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted March 6, 2016 On the same discussion forum which contained the above photo, someone stated: "I can remember Paul telling everyone exactly what had happened to him...23 days unconcious. Told by his surgeon that he can no longer smoke, but he can still drink and other things have not been affected...." UPDATE: Another quote from the same thread proves he still has a sense of humour: "... he asked for Blades like Oscar Pitorious [sic] and was told by the surgeon he could have them but 'not the gun'." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,795 Posted March 6, 2016 Given he nearly died, that's presumably better than the alternative! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
