University librarian suffers stroke after UVA protest injuryBy MATTHEW BARAKAT, Associated Press 18 hrs ago
University of Virginia librarian Tyler Magill was among the counter-protesters surrounded by torch-bearing white supremacists Friday night at the school's famous Thomas Jefferson statue.
On Sunday, Magill was shouting down and disrupting a press conference by Jason Kessler, who organized Saturday's so-called Unite the Right rally that devolved into violence, including the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer.
By Tuesday, Magill's vision was failing. He went to the emergency room, where he had a stroke. He was taken into intensive care.
Doctors determined the stroke was caused by physical trauma that Magill, 46, had suffered in recent days to an artery in his neck.
The only injury he suffered, according to friends, was when he was hit in the neck with a torch at Friday's confrontation.
