Looks (as a worst-case scenario) like he could've suffered from [any number of skull fractures]

Looks (as a worst-case scenario) like he could've suffered from this:

In the early sixties my Grandfather walked up to a dead standing fifteen foot tall tree and thought he could push it over, he gave it two good shoves and the tree was showing signs of maybe going over, on the third push the top three feet snapped off came down on the top of his head like a spear...he was in a coma for over a month but did eventually survive without permanent injury.

Wasn't there a song about this.........." I fought the tree, and the tree won, I fought the tree and the tree won. Breakin trunks with a hot run,,,,,,I fought the tree and the tree won.............

Sorry guys, couldn't resist.
