Leslie's in Brackenridge (clearly I can't tell my hospitals apart)

Albert “Leslie” Cochran — Austin’s homeless, thong-clad local celebrity — was found in a semi-vegetative state on a sidewalk on Oct. 3 and is in critical condition at University Medical Center Brackenridge, according to a public health official with knowledge of the incident

The official said Leslie’s injuries are life threatening and if he survives, he may experience “life-altering effects,” including remaining in a vegetative state.

“He’s very, very sick,” the official said.


Leslie is such a nice guy, and while his life on the street and drinking did him no favors, it makes me awfully sad to hear he's so sick.
