I'm so sorry for your friend. I know this questions is 2 months old, but maybe you will still be searching for answers. I found this on the internet. It doesn't give very good statistics but I think it's better to know the truth than to hide. I truly hope your friend has survived and is doing well.

<font size="4">What is the survivalhttps://www.neure.com rate for traumatic brain injury?</font>
Each year over 50,000 Americans die from traumatic brain injuries. About 1 million people are treated and released from hospital emergency departments. 230,000 people survive after hospitalization, and 50,000, or twenty-two percent of individuals who sustain a TBI, die from their injuries. The outcome of TBI differs greatly with cause: 91% of firearm-related TBIs ended in death, yet only 11% of fall-related TBIs end fatally.
