Court Chancellor Mitchell Lundy Jr. remained in stable condition in the ICU
Saturday after undergoing surgery to remove his right foot.
According
to Lundy’s stepmother, Judy, the judge will likely undergo another
surgery, possibly Monday or Tuesday, to take more of his right leg off
below the knee.
Lundy
suffered severe trauma to his lower extremities in a boating accident
Friday afternoon on Grenada Lake. According to Sheriff Alton Strider,
Lundy was traveling in his boat near Choctaw Landing when he hit an
obstruction, fell from the boat, then was run over by it. Judy Lundy said
that another fisherman came to the chancellor's aid and called in the
accident. He was airlifted to North Mississippi Medical Center in
Tupelo, family sources said.
According
to his stepmother, once Lundy’s surgeries are complete at NMMC, he will
be sent to the JMS Burn Center in Brandon where a plastic surgeon will
operate on a deep cut in his left leg.
Lundy is a chancery judge for Mississippi District 3.
