Ahad Israfil (August 23, 1972 – October 18, 2019) was an American man known for his recovery from a gunshot injury that destroyed most of his right cerebral hemisphere.
In 1987, at age 14, Ahad was shot in the head at work when his employer allegedly knocked a firearm to the floor.
[1] The bullet destroyed brain tissue and damaged half of his skull, but the skin of his scalp survived.
Repairs to his scalp allowed the regrowth of hair, giving him a fairly normal appearance.
[1] He appeared on television programs such as World of Pain (Bravo, UK), and Ripley's Believe it or Not.
