    AFAIK the source for him being brain dead is Laura Loomer who is not doing much better brain activity-wise.

    That said, I remember seeing the article about the turtle being taken to the hospital last month and based on what we already knew then the odds are very much not in his favor.

      Proper CPR which they already admitted to at his age at the very least means broken ribs, probably a punctured lung. Depending on how long he was down at any age there’s risk of brain damage at older ages high risk of brain death.
