Farmer Lloyd Olsen chopped off Mikes head one evening in 1945 but missed the jugular vein, leaving one ear and most of the brain stem intact.
Mr. Olsen decided to continue to care permanently for Mike, and would feed him a mixture of milk and water via an eyedropper; occasionally he was fed small grains of corn. Mike became famous, touring sideshows and also featuring in Time and Life magazines. Mike only died when he asphyxiated on some corn lodged in his exposed oesophagus 18 months after losing his head. A post-mortem revealed that the axe had missed the carotid artery and a clot had prevented Mike from bleeding to death. Because his brain stem was left, which controls basic functions, Mike remained quite healthy.
