The Baltimore Police Departments leaked report claims that Freddie Gray
intentionally broke his own spine while in custody. We spoke to experts to
see if that is even possible.
.
On Wednesday night, an alleged report from the Baltimore Police Department
was leaked to The Washington Post claiming that Freddie Gray, the
25-year-old who died a week after his spine was fractured while in police
custody, was intentionally trying to injure himself in the back of a
Baltimore Police van.
.
The report, whose author is unknown, cites a single source: an unnamed
second man who was in the van with Gray for a short time, but could not
see him.
.
But if Freddie Gray was trying to break his own spinal cord in the back of
a van, according to experts in spinal trauma injuries, it might be the
first self-inflicted injury of its kind.
.
I have never seen it before. Ive never seen somebody self-inflict a spinal
cord injury in that way, says Anand Veeravagu, a Stanford University
Medical Center neurosurgeon who specializes in traumatic brain and spinal
cord injuries.
.
Its hard for me to understand that, unless those terms [like intentional
and injure himself] are being used incorrectly. Its hard for me to
envision how a person could try to do that, he says. It would require them
to basically hang themselves in a car where there isnt anything to hang
yourself with.
.
Veeravagu says that there are only a few ways you can injure your spine in
a similar way to the injuries that ultimately led to Grays death. One, he
says, is by a sharp injury, which is a direct penetrating injuryeither
somebody with a knife who knows what theyre doing, or something else that
cuts through, like a gunshot wound.
.
The other way, more pertinent to Grays case, is by trauma, where the bones
are fractured and the ligaments are torn as a result of force or impact.
