Danny Filipitas' Memory Loss

Danny Filipitas suffered from retrograde amnesia, the loss of memory resulting from a blow to the head. Dr. Jennifer Ryan at Toronto's Rotman Research Institute has been helping him recover his memories. People with dissociative fugue have been known to temporarily lose their sense of personal identity before impossibly wandering far from their usual surroundings. They may not show any signs of illness or injury, but instead exhibit radically different behavior and have extreme difficulty remembering where they are.
