A high school baseball star’s college dreams — and life — almost ended when he suffered a brain aneurysm while at a Texas gym.
Tyler Comeaux, then 18 years old and anticipating his freshman year at Houston Christian University on a baseball scholarship, was at a gym in Friendswood when he collapsed almost two years ago, according to Fox 26 Houston. To save his life, he underwent immediate emergency surgery to remove part of his skull to reduce the pressure in his brain, the outlet reported. At one point, Comeaux's brain function dropped to 10%.
“They didn't give us much hope that he'd survive and if he did, he'd be in a vegetative state,” his dad, Kirk Comeaux, told Fox 26.
