A builder who miraculously survived a freak accident on a construction site cut his body in half has been rushed to hospital with possible sepsis. Loren Schauers, 20, fell 50ft and was left trapped under a forklift which severed his forearm and crushed his lower body in the horror incident in September 2019.
The young labourer, from Great Falls in Montana, bravely gave doctors permission to perform hemicorperectomy surgery - amputating everything below his waist in a last ditch attempt to save his life. Amazing, Loren pulled through, and for the last three years has been documenting his recovery and sharing details of his new life - turning him into an internet sensation in the process.
However, he shared an emotional post yesterday afternoon (August 25) telling his thousands of followers that he is now facing another health scare. As reported by the Daily Star, Loren said: "Your boy Loren is being admitted into hospital (might be sepsis), this'll be fun to try and fight."
