".... Turns out, [Edgar] had broken an orbital bone and one of his sinus passages. So when he blew his nose, air escaped and began to seep out and collect under the skin. It wasn't long before he looked like the Elephant Man. 'That's pretty much what it looked like,' said Edgar.... 'It was pretty bizarre looking.' And Edgar, getting a kick out of the fact he could manipulate the air with his fingers, quickly proceeded to make it worse. In talking to one of his friends who had walked into the restroom, Edgar decided to blow his nose again. Even more air seeped out and made his face appear even more gruesome. He then began to try to expel the air. Through his eye."
