That's a truly tragic story, Quite, not only that Shawn suffered such devastating injury - and at such a young age - but that he then lived four and a half years afterwards, vegetatively.
He's an actor I don't recall ever being familiar with by name, though I'm sure I've seen him in one or more series role, judging from his credits.
RIP.
