18-year-old TikTok star Caleb Coffee was found falling from a 60-80 foot cliff in Hawaii. The boy was, fortunately, alive and did not receive any life-threatening injuries. For two days, doctors suspected a broken neck or spinal cord, but thankfully their fears were proven false.
Caleb’s family is always by his side at the moment, and the teen is slowly recovering from his plight. Despite having plenty of broken bones, stitches, and bruises, he managed to update fans regarding his improved condition.
Here’s everything you need to know about the influencer and how he got involved in the accident.
What Happened to Caleb Coffee? How Did He Fall?
Caleb Coffee was on a hiking trip in Hawaii with his friends when he accidentally fell from a 60-80 foot cliff onto lava rock. After his death-defying fall, he was admitted to the ICU, where he is currently recovering.
Caleb’s father, Joseph Coffee, updated Caleb’s fans via Instagram on Thursday as he stated Caleb is “stable, conscious, talking and in good spirits.”
The TikToker has a broken femur that underwent surgery and has a rod in it. He has two plates, ten screws in his right elbow, and a fractured left wrist. Images on social media sites also show stitches on his forehead and lips and bruises all over his face.
According to Joseph, “It looks like it’s going to be a long road to recovery, but Caleb is strong, and we know he’s going to get through this!”
Later, a video of Caleb speaking from his hospital bed was released, where he shared that his neck is unbroken. The teen stated that doctors thought his spine or neck was broken due to the fall, but the MRI shows that they were uninjured; miraculously, it’s only irritated. He thanks Jesus for the saving grace.
Caleb also revealed that this is his third death-defying act, as he has had several seizures before, including ‘grand mal seizures.’ Lastly, he added, “Sixty to eighty feet is … I can’t even fathom that. I don’t even remember. I just woke up, and I thought I was going to die. And then I didn’t die, so thank you, God.”
You can already imagine the sky-high hospital bill that Caleb and his family are looking at right now. The family has started a fundraiser for $100,000 and has already raised over $16,000.
