MINNETONKA, MNIn a medical miracle being hailed as a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit, area 53-year-old David Spotherton, who this summer was given just six more months to live, reportedly defied the odds yesterday by dying in less than two. They told my husband he would only have one more Christmas with his family, but Dave proved those doctors wrong by not even making it to Labor Day, said Spothertons misty-eyed widow, Marsha Gross, proudly explaining that even though there was a less than one in 100 chance that her husband would perish this quickly, he was never the type to back away from long odds. Thats just Dave. He always said that if you really put your mind to it, you can accomplish nearly anything. My husband was in a great deal of pain, but he pushed through it and succumbed faster than anyone thought possible. I suppose there are some things medical science just cant explain. Spothertons family created a foundation to honor his inspiring legacy by providing meager scholarships to young people hoping to one day drastically underperform expectations.The post Man Given 6 Months To Live Beats Odds By Dying In 2 appeared first on The Onion.
