NEW HAVEN, Conn. - A Connecticut woman mauled by a chimpanzee two weeks ago lost her hands, nose, lips and eyelids and may be blind and suffering brain damage - and hospital officials say it's still unclear if her condition can improve at all.
The Cleveland Clinic, revealing the specific injuries yesterday for the first time, told The Associated Press in a statement that 55-year-old Charla Nash also lost the bone structure in her face when she was attacked on Feb. 16 in Stamford, Conn.
Her wounds have been stabilized, but "critical issues still remain related to a significant traumatic brain injury and injuries to her eyes that threaten her vision," the hospital said.

How the owner is not in jail is a mystery to me.

The monkey is dead Trooper.
But what about his mother?
This ghastly story just makes me sick at heart. I know this sounds awful, but dying would be a kindness at this point. I had a friend who lingered for weeks with burns on 80% of her body from a kitchen fire.
