Emerson de Oliveira Abreu: Abreu speared himself

By Therese Lisieux on March 30th, 2009



Emerson de Oliveira Abreu, of Rio de Janeiro, was at sea when he fired a spear. His spear bounced off some rocks and pierced his own head.

Abreu was hit when his spear entered above his left eye and embedded itself in his skull. The spear missed Abreu’s critical areas and he was saved from major brain damage. Surgeons operated on Abreu for 5 hours to remove the spear.
