(AP) Prince Friso suffered massive brain damage and may never regain consciousness, his doctors said Friday. Queen Beatrix' son was struck by an avalanche while skiing off-trail in Austria last week.
Dr. Wolfgang Koller, head of trauma at the Innsbruck hospital where Friso is being treated, told a news conference broadcast live on Dutch national television that it took nearly 50 minutes to reanimate the prince after he was pulled from the snow. He had been buried for 25 minutes before rescuers found him.
