Jesse Malin left paralyzed after rare spinal stroke.
Punk rocker Jesse Malin has revealed that he is paralyzed from the waist down after suffering a spinal cord stroke at a restaurant in New York City last month. The 56-year-old is currently wheelchair-bound and undergoing physical therapy at a New York City rehab center. Spinal cord strokes are incredibly rare, accounting for just 0.3-1% of all strokes, but can lead to paralysis and death if not treated right away. A fundraiser has been set up to help Malin with his medical expenses beyond acute care.
