Henry
Darrow was therefore injured, seriously, with minor fractures in the left leg
as well as the depressed fragment of skull bone. Had Henry been fully conscious during
surgery, he would have assured the surgeons that, despite the severity of the
wound, he would live. They would have
been dubious. Henry Darrow knew when he was going to die – from
myocardial infarction, some fifteen years, four months, and nine days in the
future.
