“Man cannot remember his life”
A man who had been in a coma since 2019 after a hit-and-run woke up this week, thinking the year was 1980 and that he was 23 years old.
Luciano D’Adamo, 68, from Italy, didn’t recognise his wife or son when they came to visit him after he regained consciousness.
D’Adamo had no recollection of being married, telling his doctor he had a 19-year-old girlfriend instead.
Similarly, he did not understand how a 30-year-old man could be his son.
D’adamo was also shocked when he looked in the mirror and saw that he was no longer a 23-year-old man.
‘It’s an elderly gentleman, not me,’ said D’Adamo. ‘I was terrified, it seemed like a horror movie.’
Unfortunately, the 68-year-old believed it was 1980, meaning 39 years of his life had been erased from his memory.
D’Adamo was putting rubbish in a bin outside his place of work when a driver crashed into him in February, 2019.
