A French Canadian, Alexis St Martin, was accidentally shot in his side on June 6, 1822, Dr Beaumont treated him, and although St Martin recovered, he had an opening nearly 2cm across that led directly into his stomach. Dr Beaumont used him as human guinea pig to study works. St Martin lived with the hole in his stomach until he died in 1880, at the age of 82.
