Sean Reilly


What exactly happened to him in Europe? What country was he in? :(

This documentary is so interesting and I really feel for these people. I've been wondering about this since I saw it. Man, how awful for his parents and brother and the rest of his family. I can only imagine getting that kind of call that your child was seriously injured and he's on another continent. And who would do such a thing? Was this person caught? Whoever it was should be forced to watch this and know what he did do an innocent person.

A follow up on everyone would be appreciated. You would think that since they take the time to document, and we as viewers take the time to watch, that we develope a deep sense of compassion and concern for each person focused upon. It is only right to allow us a follow up and see how everyone is doing. I pray that Sean made a miracle recovery. I know that Tom and Roxie made pretty much full recoveries, yet I want to know how they are.

Oh and as far as those attackers being forced to watch this?? You would think that would be fitting punishment, but honestly the only fitting punishment in my opinion would be for those beasts to be beaten into brain damage themselves.

Anyone that can do such a horrible thing would not be bothered by seeing that poor guy in such a state. I do hope they were caught but I highly doubt it.

I wish Tom, his family, and the rest of the people featured in this documentary the best of luck.

Whatever you wish for me, I hope you have twice as much.

just read an update on Sean. He passed away in 2009. If you google search there is a foundation set up in his name to raise money for TBI awareness.

There seems to be no info on the net (at least, I’ve been unable to find any) about this “assault” Sean Reilly was subjected to - no articles, no second-hand accounts, no follow-up items on the circumstances and consequences of such an appalling act. Was it a gang altercation of some sort? Was anyone charged or prosecuted? Surely, one thinks, the Reilly family would make efforts for justice and/or restitution….
But there is absolutely nothing indicated in the documentary “COMA” itself, but it’s clear Sean no longer had any quality of life and that only death, sadly, offered a release from his suffering. May he Rest In Peace….
