Model Survives Being Drugged and Electrocuted


I'd like to introduce you to Jesse Sink. Jesse was living a life that most young men dream of - he was a successful model with aspirations of becoming an actor. He worked hard to achieve his goals, building an incredible physique.


Jesse moved to New York City to be a high-fashion model, but six months later, his life turned into a nightmare that changed his life forever.

Jesse was drugged by an unknown assailant and shortly after, Jesse was trying to walk to Penn Station to take a train home after being out with this friends. Along the way, he says he started losing his motor skills, his vision blurred, and it became difficult to talk. On the platform, he says he started to black out and began to panic. He leaned up against the door of a stopped train to try to steady himself.

“It was just like the lights went out,” Jesse recalls. “The next thing I remember is waking up on top of the train car. I felt like I had just come off of anesthesia. My first instinct was to get off the train, so I grabbed a hold of a rod that was the size of my pinky that was sitting next to me to stabilize myself, and immediately it engulfed me in flames.”

Jesse was electrocuted with 13,000 volts. He pulled himself off the wire and fell onto the concrete below, where someone with a fire extinguisher put out the flames.  His shirt and backpack went up in flames, with the backpack melting onto his body.

“The last thing I remember hearing is 60 percent of his body is burned, and a slight chance of survival,” he says.

Jesse was in coma for two months and underwent 13 surgeries, including having his arm amputated below his elbow.  When he realized his arm had been amputated, he says his heart stopped.

                    “I started crying. I didn’t want to live.”

As you can imagine, like many dreams, his were dashed with this horrible tragedy. 


Jesse was rushed to the hospital, being declared dead twice on the way. But his will was far too strong. Jesse survived, and was put in a medically induced coma.


The survival came at a devastating price however. Third degree burns covered sixty percent of his body. His right arm was amputated right below the elbow. He lost sixty five pounds in his coma.
Jesse awoke on February 29 of 2007. His life was shattered. Jesse however, was undaunted. He fought once more, coming back from having 2 days to live, to a full recovery.

But his story does not stop there. Jesse found that he had a gift for weight training when he trained to regain the atrophied muscle. He also found he had a gift to inspire others. Through hard work and dedication, Jesse built himself into a physique competitor. He placed fifth in two categories in his first competition. And hopefully, it won't be his last.


But Jesse needs your support. He has been living day to day since the accident. He also requires one more skin graft surgery and has a great deal of medical expenses to pay off that hunt him constantly. 

Jesse wishes to motivate others through his experience and resiliency and help many to persevere and transform their mind and body by becoming a motivational speaker and continue with his body building career. With your support, he can do just that.
