He remained in a coma for two years before emerging from it. He remained a quadriplegic until his death seven years after the incident as a result of infections related to the wounds. The suspect was never charged with the murder.

I took care of David for many years. He was a funny sole!! David was a warm person who truly loved his wife Marlise and sons Dennis and Tommy. We spent many hours together just reflecting on his life as a "cop" and as a husband and father!! David was in alot of pain after waking up, but he continued to fight for his family. David was a true friend, and he had many!! David would speak via a talking board and I was the best in understanding him or so he told me!!! lol! I will never forget what he did to make this state a better place to live!
