He remains under medical care.
“At one point he was critical. At one point he was on a life support system, basically, he was being fed through a feeding tube and was in a comatose state, so at one point he was clinging to life,” Dawson County Sheriff’s Office Captain Tony Wooten said, according to WSB-TV.com.
A woman police believe to be Evans can allegedly be seen taking Mikael’s drink into the bathroom when he went outside, cops said.
Waffle House management gave the footage to investigators and fired Evans, who is being held at the Dawson County Detention Center.
