Charla Nash

Victim of Chimp Attack Discharged from Hospital

 Charla Nash,  a Connecticut woman whose face was left virtually featureless after she was mauled by a friend's chimpanzee has been discharged from the Cleveland Clinic. She took a private plane Thursday to Boston to an assisted-living residence where she will undergo physical and occupational therapy to "learn skills that will hopefully allow her to be independent," said William Monaco, Nash's attorney.

Nash was attacked in November 2009, when her friend and employer, Sandra Herold, asked for help luring her 200-pound ape, Travis, back into the room-sized cage she kept in her suburban home.
