That is crazy! One that she survived. Three that she came out of a coma healed enough that she could talk and reason. And three, that she could remember anything after serious head trauma and a two year coma!!

Pretty amazing! Imo. I'm fascinated by the scientific aspect, also.

A West Virginia woman has awoken from a two-year coma and identified her brother as her attacker, according to police.
Wanda Palmer, 51, accused her brother of attacking her at her residence near Cottageville, West Virginia, in June 2020. Police said that Palmer was "attacked, hacked, and left for dead," according to a statement posted on Jackson County Sheriff's Department's Facebook.
Police say they found Palmer in an "upright position" on her couch with severe injuries caused by what appeared to be a hatchet or axe. Jackson County Sheriff Ross Mellinger told CNN that when police arrived, they thought she was dead but realized soon after she was still alive and breathing shallowly.

A couple of weeks ago, Mellinger said, his office got a call from Palmer's care facility saying she was able to speak to authorities.
Palmer was able to answer only yes-or-no questions but provided enough testimony for police to arrest Daniel, Mellinger told CNN.
Daniel Palmer III, 55, was arrested and charged with attempted murder and malicious wounding on Friday, according to arrest records obtained by CNN.

A deputy received a call June 27 from a protective services worker who said Wanda Palmer had started to speak single words and seemed to respond when questioned.

In a July 12 interview with a deputy, Wanda Palmer said the person who injured her was her brother and she identified him as Daniel, a criminal complaint obtained by WCHS-TV said.

Daniel Palmer, 55, has been charged with attempted murder and malicious wounding, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office said on Facebook.

Sheriff Ross Mellinger said the situation "is about as rare as it gets."

Online court records show Daniel Palmer is being held in jail on $500,000 bail. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer Sunday.

A West Virginia man, who was taken into custody last week for attempting to kill his sister who recently woke up from a two-year coma, has died.

Daniel J. Palmer III, 55, was charged with attempted murder and malicious wounding following the June 2020 assault, which left his sister Wanda "attacked, hacked, and left for dead," the Jackson County Sheriff's Office of West Virginia said in a press release.

Jackson County Sheriff Ross Mellinger tells PEOPLE that Palmer was transported to the Charleston Hospital Wednesday and was pronounced dead the following day.

Mellinger believes that his death was most likely due to natural causes.

Strange twist and probable ending to this but I can’t help but to question his death given him resisting so much. They don’t like that.

Is that his booking photo? He does not look at all well there.
