http://www.carbonated.tv/news/university-of-virginia-tyler-magill-in-icu-after-neo-nazi-assaultUniversity of Virginia employee Tyler Magill, the man who reportedly chased Unite the Right rally organizer Jason Kessler away from a press conference while yelling, Her name was Heather, is currently fighting for his life in ICU.
According to University of Virginia Professor Siva Vaidhyanathan, Magill sustained serious injuries after a rallygoer attacked him with a torch on Friday. He was apparently trying to defend the students when a torch-wielding neo-Nazi assaulted him.
Magill later suffered from a stroke, which his colleagues believe was a delayed result of the attack.
