Man who lost half of his head in fall

A Romanian man is left with half a head after his skull was crushed in a work accident, the Daily Mail reported.

Construction worker Elvis Romeo Lingurar, 24, was working on a demolition site when he lost his balance and fell off the scaffolding.

He smashed his head on the concrete below, and spent several days in a coma.

The impact of the six-foot fall shattered Elvis' skull on his left side, and he had an operation removing the head bone to save his life.

Lingurar's brain is protected by only a thin layer of skin, leaving him unable to work as the slightest knock to his head could prove fatal.
