Jonathan Goodwin is alive.
Jonathan Goodwin has been paralyzed following an accident, according to his fiancée Amanda Abbington.
After an accident during training for America’s Got Talent: Extreme last year, the Sherlock actress claims he nearly died twice.
She revealed that the stunt performer, who competed on Britain’s Got Talent in 2019, now needs a wheelchair.
He was intended to break free from a straitjacket while hung 30 feet in the air between two automobiles.
Instead, as they caught fire, Mr. Goodwin was squashed between them.
“He fell 30 feet and lost a kidney, fractured both shoulder blades, smashed both legs,” Ms. Abbington, 48, said on Jay Rayner’s Out To Lunch podcast.
“He had third-degree burns, which shattered his spine and damaged his spinal cord, and he was on the verge of death.” Then he nearly died again on the operation table.”
“He’ll be like that forever until there’s some type of stem cell operation or the thing Elon Musk is creating with the small chip,” she remarked.
Mr. Goodwin, a Pembrokeshire native, has stayed “positive and happy, and very strong,” she said.
I just hope to be like him in terms of courage and strength.”
He’s just fantastic, honestly, like a very joyful, positive human being, just liquid sunshine,” she says. He’s incredible.”
