go to original October 20, 2015

Two foreign neurologists are scheduled to arrive in Mexico next week to perform a second examination on Aldo Gutierrez, an education student who has been in a coma since he and several classmates were shot in Iguala, a city in the southern state of Guerrero, in September 2014, the Executive Commission for Assisting Victims, or CEAV, said.

Calixto Machado, of the Cuban Neurology and Neurosurgery Institute, and Costa Rican neurologist Mauricio Chinchilla are to arrive in Mexico next Monday.

The experts will try to determine the chances for recovery of Gutierrez, who was shot in the head by police officers who attacked a group of Ayotzinapa Rural Normal School students on Sept. 26, 2014.

Gutierrez, who is being treated at a public hospital in Mexico City, "has severe neurological damage" from the gunshot, the CEAV said.

Six people, including three education students, died that night, 25 were wounded and 43 students were detained by police and then handed over to members of the Guerreros Unidos drug cartel.
