DamienF in hospital

UPDATE MID-JANUARY:
Damien has woken up and is starting his rehab program :)


Update: Recently Damien Falgoust was found injured for reasons unknown (suspected assault) and was taken to hospital where he is currently in a medically induced coma. The current situation, as posted on his Facebook wall by his family:

Needless to say, our thoughts and hearts are with him, and those who want to send their regards or go visit him (which his family welcomes), the address is:
Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas
3500 Gaston Ave.
Dallas, TX 75246
PT: Damien Falgoust
4 West Roberts Bldg
Room 413
Though medical care is ongoing and there is no way of knowing how much the end costs will be, both short- and long-term costs will likely be significant, so Damien's friends from kickball have set up a fundraiser to help his family:

They are also holding a charity game of kickball to raise money:

On Facebook, Damien's sister wrote the following on his profile a short while ago:

For those who want

Won't be any updates for a while now, since his sister is going back to hospital. It seems that he might have been assaulted, though he was found unconscious so they don't know for sure. I really hope he pulls through ok :(

Fingers crossed. I've had a fair few good times with Damo over the years.

Any avenues to send well wishes/cards/etc. through?

Unfortunately the stuff above was pretty much all the real information posted, the rest being attempts to figure out what happened since he was last seen.

Woah what the fuck? Hope he's okay, that's some crazy shit.

Pull through Damien!

Horrible news. All that we can do is hope he pulls through. :(

That's the Baylor on (edit: thought better of it), which I'm assuming means he was, if he was, assaulted on either Lower Greenville or in Deep Ellum or maybe even in downtown (though there are closer hospitals from the latter). Those are still such rough areas even though they look so much better than they used to be. Lot of people go there for good times and then get mugged by homeless/addicts or assaulted by rowdy drunks looking for a fight in groups. The latter is such a problem that the city instituted an ordinance closing certain areas down at an earlier hour of the night.

Pulling for him. I haven't spoken to Damien in years due to not being in irc, but I met him when he still lived in Richardson a long time ago along with several of my friends. He is a genuinely good guy and that was the impression shared by all of my friends. He loaded one of them up with delicious craft beer (so, two beers!) to the point where he almost passed out in his game room. Hoping he comes out of this all right.

Anders, keep us updated, won't you?

Jesus. I owe quite a bit to Damien, indirectly. My thoughts are with him.

Terrible.

Recover with the swiftness brother.

Fuck this.

Hope he gets better soon. Will send out good thoughts/vibes/prayers. Whatever it takes.

I hope he gets well like instantly, and I hope the cops find out what or who did this and punish it for being a raging cockfaced assbag that deserve a goddamn beating and a half.

That's awful. My thoughts are with him. Anders, keep us updated if you can.

:(

Ah fuck.
I'm a huge fan of Damien's everlasting battles with lolbertarians on Facebook. And I just plain like him. Hope he'll pull through,

Jesus. My thoughts are definitely with him and his family. That's insane news.

I hope he gets better :(

Man, what the fuck. :(

Holy shit! I'm pulling for him.

Hoping for Damien and his family.

I don't know what to say. That's awful. I hope he pulls through okay.

God. Good luck, Damien, I really hope you pull through.

And I hope they get the son of a bitch that did this to him. :(

Goddamn. I don't particularly know the guy, myself, but my thoughts are with him and his family. No one deserves to have this kind of thing happen to them.

That is completely terrifying. My heart goes out to his family, and I hope he has a speedy and full recovery.

Saddened by this news and hoping for a quick and complete recovery. Positive vibes!

Here's to Damien recovering swiftly and fully. My thoughts are with him, his friends and family.

Ah fuck. Damien is nice. Good luck. :(

Thanks for letting us know.

One of my favorite internet posters ever. So sad about this, wish there was anything I could do to help in some way.

I know the building he's in, regrettably. Pulling for him.

Terrible. Pull on through, Damien.

Holy hell. Best wishes and a speedy recovery.

In gamer speak - WELLNESS FOR THE HEALTHY THRONE.

Lord.

I don't know him personally, but all of my best wishes for him.

Who's local that can update us on this? I hate the idea of anyone in a community I love being in laid up in the hospital.

Jesus, I've known Damien for years, though, like Bryce, we'd fallen out of touch some in the last couple of years, since his divorce. He's always been a solid, stand-up guy. I hope to hell he makes a full, speedy recovery. Please, please keep us updated, Anders, and especially let us know if any information gets posted about medical bills or donations or even where cards can be sent. Holy shit.

:(

Wow, what the fuck. I had many a discussion in the early morning with Damien and Met_K on IRC back in the day. Hope he pulls through.

Jesus, that's horrible. I hope he makes a full and swift recovery. :(

This just makes me feel sick. I pray for a fast recovery.

Well fuck. Hopefully they got him to the hospital quickly after he was injured. Time is critical with that type of an injury.

That is terrible. My thoughts are with him and his family, I hope he makes a fast recovery.
