"I don't know if he will be fully recovered, just given the brain damage. We can just hope he can get better."
Jeren Drew, a 32-year-old comedian, was severely injured in a swarming attack by a group of people in Downtown Edmonton on December 27, 2024. Seven individuals, including teens, have been charged in connection with the assault, with two facing attempted murder charges. Drew, who had suffered a heart attack two years prior, is now facing a long recovery process. His friend, Todd Ross, described the attack as devastating and noted Drew's resilience. Drew has since been flown to Montreal for further care, and his long-term prognosis remains uncertain. A GoFundMe campaign has been created to support Drew and his family.
