"Upon my examination of Mr. Freeman, it is a wonder that this gentleman was able to hang on as long as he did," commented Coroner Chris Nesbit. "He had bites and lacerations from his legs to the top of his head. This is very sad story, but even worse that Mr. Freeman was basically helpless to the attack, due to being a bi-lateral amputee."
