Thats not just unconscious, that dwarf is (or rather was as he'll die eventually) in a coma.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of wounds did that dwarf have? They must have been just short of mortal or causing extreme pain all the time in order for that dwarf to be unconscious (as opposed to just resting) for years.

Everything (literally) was bruised, teared or oozing blood. Including every internal organ.

I have the screenshots, but I can't upload them now for some reason.

Was there a frotten beast around the time this happened?

(Sometimes the randomized syndromes cause drowsyness)

As long as the military doesn't work reliably, I'm cordoning off pieces of the underworld to do my things in. So it were either troglodytes, naked mole dogs, elk birds or common goblins who did it. Probably something without weapons (possibly with teeth, it was the first or second release), otherwise he would have been dead anyway. Now he just kept getting bruised again and again, without starting to bleed. Until the cavalry finally arrived...
