Severe burn injuries classified as third-degree burns. - Domestic mishap results in Ray's neck getting burned.
A mother named Danielle Davis shared with local media a horrific incident that happened in her household on the night of April 30. She explains, "We had been asleep for about an hour when we heard screams coming from our son's room." Initially, she thought he was simply upset from losing a game, but then she heard him yell, "Mommy."
Upon entering her son's room, she noticed that his entire neck was burnt, creating a heavily unpleasant odor. Concerned, she immediately called emergency services, and they transported him to the Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Doctors were shocked to find that Ray had sustained third-degree burns, where the skin is completely charred and destroyed. However, they shared that a skin graft could potentially heal the tissue. Despite their suggestion, Ray doesn't seem keen on the idea and is willing to carry the scars from his chin to his collarbone for the rest of his life.
Danielle describes the unfortunate situation: "The teenager had leaned over his bed, allowing his necklace to touch the conductors of a cable," she says, "The circuit immediately encircled his neck like a hot, red coil." In his attempt to remove the chain, he also burned his hands.
The chain was fused with the power cable during the electric shock, and the pendant - a large cross - left a deep burn on his mattress.
The doctors were astonished to learn that Ray had encountered "enough amperes (measurement of electrical current, note by editor) to die." At the hospital, his heart function had to be monitored extensively for a few days. The mother of six shares an expression of gratitude, stating, "We are so relieved that he is recovering well. The situation could have ended tragically if he had lost consciousness."
