A Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center neurosurgeon said Stow "suffered a severe skull fracture and bad bruising to his frontal lobe." Even in the best case scenario, he will have a long, long recovery process, doctors said.
After getting the news, Stow's family spoke out for the first time, holding a press conference outside the hospital where Stow remains in coma. His cousin, John Stow, told news reporters that Bryan Stow had sent him a text message from inside the stadium that night, telling him he was scared.
That was a good indication that the rowdy fans had turned unruly. As Stow left the opener game on Thursday, two men wearing Dodgers attire attacked him and beat him into a coma outside the Dodger stadium.
Police reviewed surveillance tape, but called the footage useless. They have since released composite sketches of the men, who are still on the lam.
The reward for catching the attackers has now increased to $100,000. The Giants are assisting with fundraisers to help pay Stow's medical bills, including a barbecue today at noon at American Medical Response, where Stow works.
