How Mark Curry’s Accident Happened…
While doing his laundry at his residence, an aerosal can was behind the water heater, unbeknownst to Curry. The laundry machine was located near the water heater. The contents of the aerosal can, combined with the water heater’s temperature, etc, suddenly caused an explosion, throwing Curry across the room and ultimately landing him in the burn unit, in bad condition.
The Effects Of His Injuries…
Curry was placed in a medically induced coma, after suffering massive burns on his back, side, and arm…
“I was in the St. Francis burn unit. I was in a coma for a while…and the Lord saved me…he saved me. It was just a [traumatic] event.”
Why Curry Contemplated Suicide…
After awaking from a 3-day coma, Curry explained why he wanted to kill himself, but in true comedic fashion, he still slipped a joke in to lighten the harsh reality of that time:
“It was a bad situation and it prompted me to go into a deep depression…and so, I don’t even deal with that. …and it changed my life.
I thought about suicide, but it’s hard to commit suicide when you’re 6’6” (LOL)…the ceiling’s right here. [So] I can’t hang myself. … It took me so low, into a black valley. People didn’t know what was wrong with me…
