Lindsay Lohan shares video of bandaged hand after losing 'half her finger' in boating accident
'I almost lost my finger from the anchor. Well, I lost half my finger, thank goodness we found the piece of my finger,' says the actress
Lindsay Lohan has been forced to undergo surgery after loosing "half of her finger" in a boating accident.
After the accident, the 30-year-old actress shared a video of her heavily bandaged finger and expressed relief at finding the other part of her finger. She also explained she immediately had surgery on the injury.
According to TMZ, Lohan tried to pull up the anchor and became entangled in it while on holiday on a boat in Turkey. After the anchor was pulled down into the water, Lohan struggled to get back in the boat as she attempted to disentangle herself.
Her friends then reportedly found the detached finger on the deck of the boat and she was rushed to an Emergency Services room where a plastic surgeon reattached it.
