born with heart outside of body! fascinating video

Published

Christopher Wall was born in 1975 with his heart outside his chest. Here is a fascinating video made of his life by the Guinness book of world records folks. He is an adult now. His heart is inside his skin, but not inside his chest, so you can see it beating.

wow, didn't know Cris Collinsworth had his own show! (Sorry, I'm an old Bengals fan)

That video appears to be about 11 years old. Wonder how the guy is doing now, or if he's even still alive?

The caption under the video was dated March, 2008. It says "In the new 2008 book edition of Guinness it is reported that he is still alive continuing to break the record nearly 10 years after this aired!" So he was alive a year ago. He would be 34 years old now.
