MAN LIVING WITH HALF OF HIS HEAD



Carlos 'Halfy' Rodriguez, who also goes by the name Sosa, lost a large portion of his brain and skull in a crash after flying through his car's windscreen and landing head-first on the road.
 Doctors were forced to cut away large amounts of flesh and bone to help him survive and he has since been able to continue his life in Miami, Florida.

 I was with a cousin and a friend stole the car, there was a near-fatal car accident. As the speed was too fast we lost control of the car and crashed,' he said.
Mr Rodriguez shot to fame two years ago after he was was arrested for allegedly soliciting prostitution.





Warning: Carlos admits that he was on drink and drugs while driving and warns others not to do the same

This case i posted about only became popular when he was arrested and had a mugshot taken So there is nothing on his surgery that i could in my research about him but his case is not the only one i found.
