Travis Barker Released From Hospital
Travis Barker has been discharged from the Doctors Hospital in Augusta, GA and is heading back to Los Angeles. His rep issued this statement to People:
“Travis is doing great and was discharged this morning. He has left Augusta.”
Travis and DJ AM were both admitted into the Joseph M. Still Burn Center nine days ago after a plane crash in South Carolina claimed the lives of 4 passengers. Travis suffered second and third degree burns to his torso and lower body.
DJ AM was released from the hospital this past Friday.
When news of the crash was first reported, we were led to believe DJ AM had severe facial burns and was in critical condition as was Travis with severe burns to his torso and lower body. How can they be discharged after just 9 days? No mention if both will be continuing treatment at L.A. hospitals… I imagine they will since burns take quite some time to heal.
I don’t know… it seems as if the media exploited a tragedy for headlines.
While it’s a very good thing both survived and were released, 4 other passengers (non celebs) lost their lives. I can’t help but feel sorry for their families.
