DiMeo, tenía quemaduras en el 80 % de su cuerpo luego del accidente ocurrido en julio de 2018.

Un conductor que pasaba cerca del lugar del incidente lo auxilió y lo sacó del vehículo que se estaba incendiando. Sin embargo, a DiMeo le tuvieron que amputar varios dedos y quedó con varias cicatrices en el rostro, además de la pérdida de labios y párpados, lo que afectó en gran medida su capacidad visual.

“Siempre hay luz al final del túnel, nunca te des por vencido [...] Estoy impaciente por regresar al trabajo”, dijo el joven en una conferencia de prensa.

La cirugía se llevó a cabo el pasado 12 de agosto de 2020 y duró aproximadamente unas 23 horas. Además, contó con un equipo de 96 personas dirigidas por el cirujano Eduardo Rodríguez, director del programa de trasplante de cara del NYU Langone.
