Prody suffers head injury

Published 12:00pm Friday, February 15, 2008

Christine Prody, daughter of Clair Prody, Lakeland Mental Health executive director, and Cathy Bellmore, is being treated for a significant head injury in Miami, Fla., that she sustained in a fall Monday. The Miami Herald reported that Prody was listed in serious condition by Baptist Hospital in Miami.

Prody, 32, who has been dating ex-NFL star O.J. Simpson since 1999, hit her head during a fall at a Miami gas station and was hospitalized in intensive care, a police report said. Her father was unavailable for comment.

The Miami Herald reported that officers went to the hospital Tuesday to speak with Prody’s mother, who in 2001 moved from Edina to Florida. Bellmore told them that her daughter and Simpson recently returned from San Antonio, where they attended a Super Bowl party.

Simpson’s attorney, Yale Galanter, told the Herald that his client was not being investigated and had nothing to do with Prody’s injury. Investigators interviewed Simpson, according to the Herald, and he said he and Prody returned from Texas on separate flights days apart.
