Warren Officer Faces Life-Altering Injuries After Fall
A hunting trip with family turned catastrophic for Warren Police Officer Nick Kott last weekend. While engaging in one of his favorite pastimes, Officer Kott suffered a devastating fall, leaving him critically injured and unable to summon help for several hours. When his family finally located him, he was rushed to Midland Hospital before being airlifted to the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor.
Officer Kott remains in critical condition in the hospital’s Neurological ICU. He is on a ventilator and has no sensation from the neck down. The accident marks a devastating blow to the officer, his family, and the broader Warren community.
Family Faces Emotional and Financial Strain
At Officer Kott’s bedside are his wife, Holli, and their seven-year-old son. The family is grappling with this life-altering tragedy, balancing emotional devastation with the harsh realities of mounting medical expenses. To help alleviate the financial burden, relatives have launched a GoFundMe campaign, urging the community to rally around the family in their time of need.
