I never heard of anyone doing that before on purpose. So to me it was strange.
Isn't it dangerous? I don't care if this guy lives or dies but in general if it was just a nice person ... isn't it dangerous and hard to get them out of a coma?
Pocket is correct. It is an often used method to keep people in a state of deep rest while their body heals. In fact, it was used on Gabrielle Gifford to allow her brain to heal. It' s not that different from a deep general anesthesia.
I'm not sure if this is the case here, but it is far from unusual.
I'msure you can find a lot more info on the web.
