'Deadliest Catch' captain suffers stroke

One of the stars of the reality show "Deadliest Catch" suffered a stroke yesterday while in port at St. Paul Island, according to Web sites associated with the show.

An engineer found Cornelia Marie captain Phil Harris on the floor of his stateroom, according to the Cornelia Marie Web site. He was immediately taken to a clinic in St. Paul -- the same place he was treated for a blood clot two years ago -- and flown to Anchorage for treatment, the site says.

"Phil is at a good hospital and receiving the best care possible," wrote Morgan Howard, the son of Cornelia Marie Devlin, majority owner of the F/V Cornelia Marie.

"My mother ... and Jake Harris are with him at the hospital. Josh is staying on the boat to help the new relief skipper who is flying out there today. The boat is in the harbor now, but needs to be able to leave in case the ice shifts and moves in," Howard wrote.

Harris was in port, off-loading his boat at the time of the stroke, according the Discovery Channel Web site.

Not good news.

Thing is however, the lifestyle he chose is HIS decision and everyone has the right to go to Hell in their own way.

If you go back and watch season 1 or 2, you can see that Phil has taken a huge dive for the worse in the last few years. Hardly even looks like the same guy.

bummer,,,,,,,

The doctor said that Red Bull is the reason for my stroke. I was 22 at the time. Bad stuff stay away from it. I'm sure the cigarettes are not helping much either. Hope he is able to recover.


NO GUTS, NO STORY!!

That's sad to hear. Ol' Captain Harris set out a lot of "pots" in his day.

My prayers are with his family and crew.

'Deadliest Catch' star
Phil Harris put into
coma after 12-hour
surgery following
stroke

By Soraya Roberts
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
'Deadliest Catch' star Phil Harris was in
surgery for 12 hours last night after
suffering a stroke.

The captain of the Cornelia Marie was put
into a medically-induced coma to reduce
brain swelling after surgery, TMZ reports.

A source close to Harris' family said his
sons, Cornelia Marie deckhands Jake and
Josh, are hoping to speak with the doctors
today.

The boys released the following statement
through the Discovery Channel,

"Josh and Jake Harris thank everyone for
their heartfelt thought and prayers. 'The
Deadliest Catch' community has always
been more like family than just fans, and
Discovery Channel joins the Harris boys in
thanking everyone for their wishes of
support. Captain Phil is resting comfortably
and is in the care of excellent doctors and
nurses. We will update everyone on his
progress as best we can."

Harris was rushed to an Alaskan hospital
Friday after suffering a stroke while
unloading his boat.
