Gabe Poirot fell from his skateboard at nearly 30 mph, hitting the pavement headfirst without wearing a helmet, and was thrown 6 feet into the air during the accident, according to multiple reports. The cause of the skateboard hitting something in the road remains unknown. Dr.
Forrest "Dell" Moore, Vice Chief of Surgery, stated in a press release that it was clear Poirot had a pretty bad head injury and was taken into a trauma bay and resuscitated, finding a very significant traumatic brain injury. He added that the traumatic brain injury included subdural hemorrhages, extravasation hemorrhages, and contusions, with treatment focused on ensuring his brain received oxygen and support to heal. According to Daily Mirror - Main, John Michael described Poirot's condition as very critical in the hospital, with friends praying over him while he was unconscious.
He was lying unconscious on the ground. Eyes were closed, we're praying over him. Speaking over him like, 'Gabe, you're going to live. You're not going to die. You're going to live. You're not going to die.' Just, you know, over and over again.
Poirot had a near-death experience where he was suctioned up by light into a tunnel and met Jesus in a city of pure glory, light, and love, according to multiple reports. According to Daily Mirror - Main, Gabe Poirot described witnessing prayers being offered for him while unconscious and feeling no fear. Dr.
Moore noted in the press release that when a patient is put in a medically induced coma for a traumatic brain injury, the outcomes are not good, with high chances of neurological devastation even if the patient survives. Poirot's current neurological and physical condition after recovery, the duration of his recovery process after waking from the coma, and whether any legal or safety investigations followed the accident are not confirmed. The specific medical treatments administered beyond the induced coma also remain unclear.
I witnessed his prayers. And I also knew in the midst of a moment that is so intense, I had no fear. By the time the ambulance had gotten there, honestly, I was suctioned up by light; this tunnel of light suctioned me up out of there.
I immediately knew that I was being suctioned up to an appointment with Him. It was like this city of pure glory, pure light, pure love. But then, as the closer I got to the centre of the city, He was there waiting for me. Seeing Him changed everything.
We're all waiting outside, for a while there, like, Gabe's condition was very, very critical.
