“Supernatural” star Mark Sheppard survived 6 widowmaker heart attacks on December 1st. EMTs were successful in resuscitating him, multiple times. This is truly a miracle for the man who played the demon Crowley in the series.
While in his kitchen on Friday, Sheppard collapsed, and suffered a series of “massive heart attacks.” EMTs brought the actor back successfully four times in a “touch and go” situation. According to Sheppard, he had a 100% blockage in his left anterior descending artery (LAD). The LAD is frequently referred to as a “widowmaker,” and almost lived up to the moniker.
Sheppard credits his wife and the team at St. Joseph’s Hospital for his survival. “I wouldn’t be writing this. My chances of survival were virtually nil,” Sheppard said. In regards to how he is currently feeling, he gave a surprising answer. “I feel great. Humbled once more. Home tomorrow!”
Misha Collins reacted to the news in the comments on Sheppard’s Instagram post. “Mark! You don’t need to do the most and biggest every time! 6 heart attacks? 2 or 3 would have been impressive enough. You’ve impressed us, okay. Now stop with this heal up and get back on the road with us. Love you, pal.”
Fellow co-star Kim Rhodes also commented, saying: “Mark. Just…. Mark. For you, I would have gone full Orpheus because no. You may NOT, sir. Thank you for staying. 💖”
We would like to extend our wishes for a smooth and healthy recovery for Sheppard.
