Young marine that was in the car with Nick Hogan likely won't recover   Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

This is really, really sad.  The guapo young marine, John Graziano, 22, that was in the car with Hulk Hogan's son on the August 26th crash will likely not make a recovery.  According to court docs, he will need lifelong care and at best will only be able to open and close his eyes periodically.  Graziano was in the passenger's seat when Nick Bollea, AKA Nick Hogan, 17, crashed is Toyota Supra in Clearwater, Florida.  The accident is still under investigation by Clearwater police, with Nick having a history of driving at excessive speeds.

Graciano's mother was granted emergency temporary guardianship of John on Sept. 27, but his father is contesting the application in hopes of using an independent guardian - there will be a hearing tomorrow.  Nurse Joanne Jones, who the court asked to evaluate John Graziano, said that he is on total life support, is comatose, and responds to a pinch and has a gag reflex but otherwise does not react to touch or sound.  His pupils are fixed.  Graziano's doctor stated that John will "most likely spend the remainder of his life in a nursing home."

He is still in critical condition at Bayfront Medical Center.
