Jimmy Russell said her son, Eli Gregg, was playing Thursday evening outside their home in Redfield, about 90 miles south of Kansas City, when she heard him scream. She found him with a 10-inch knife jutting from just below his eye and called 911. The knife was embedded in his skull and extended to just under his brain. The blade’s tip, meanwhile, was pushing against his carotid artery, which supplies the brain with blood.This 3D computer graphic model made from X-Ray imagery by The University of Kansas Health System shows how a tip of the knife stopped right on and was pressed against the carotid artery as the X-Ray image shows the skull of Eli Gregg.
