You Are Not Dead, Yet.

Phineas Gage was the foreman of a railway construction gang.

One day, an accidental explosion blew a 3 foot tamping iron through his head.

Phineas underwent a radical surgery and made a remarkable recovery.

After the incident, his personality had changed and he found fame exhibiting himself in freak shows, circuses and fairgrounds, living a new life of adventure and reckless indulgence.

Phineas is dead.
