JACKSON HOLE, WYO – It is with a heavy heart Buckrail passes along an update on the condition of local professional skier Bryce Newcomb who was injured in late March while skiing Cody Bowl.
According to Bryce’s brother, Cole, Newcomb has taken a turn for the worse and appears to be beyond medical care.
“This is not the update I want to share but one that I must. Bryce’s status has taken a turn for the worse in rehab and he was admitted to the ER last Wednesday. There they took an MRI, a CT scan, and administered an EEG report, all of which indicate that he is beyond medicinal care,” Cole stated on his Facebook page.
Doctors have removed Newcomb’s feeding and water tubes. The family is moving him to a hospice in Boise.
“My family and I are devastated to share this news. We are so appreciative of the outpouring of support we’ve received during this very difficult time, and now ask for privacy to grieve and process in the coming weeks,” Cole stated.
