A Texas man who suffered severe brain damage and was left paralyzed after a brutal gay bashing in England died last week, three years after the attack occurred. On May 11, 2003, Martin Salinas was stomped on and kicked near a nightclub in Manchester's Gay Village. Following extensive treatment, the 39-year-old Salinas was able to return to his family home in Texas, where he died last week of a seizure. Salinas's family told the Manchester News that an autopsy showed that the fatal seizure was a direct result of brain scarring he received during the attack. Police efforts to find Salinas's attackers proved unsuccessful because vital closed-circuit-television footage had been recorded over. Salinas's friends and family hope the investigation will now be elevated to a murder investigation. (Sirius OutQ News)
