During the murder trial of Karen Read, a Yale-educated brain surgeon testified that John O'Keefe died due to head trauma after falling backwards and hitting his head on frozen ground. The doctor explained that the blunt trauma caused skull fractures and significant brain swelling, which could lead to death within 24 to 48 hours. O'Keefe also succumbed to severe hypothermia, as his body temperature was found to be critically low when discovered by paramedics. This testimony raises questions about the circumstances leading to his injuries and death.
O'Keefe fell backwards and hit his head, resulting in a classic blunt-trauma injury, which fractured his skull and caused swelling in his brain.
Dr. Wolf testified that the only way O'Keefe could have sustained his specific injuries was by falling backwards and hitting the back of his head.
