HardKoreXXXNew MemberSame dude who had to go to the hospital in one of the seasons. Those guys kill themselves on those boats, even the captains. Little to no sleep, bad diets, chain smoking, stress, etc.

Yup, same guy. Had a massive blood clot move through his lungs last season and almost killed him. They chronicled his diet on the show once, and he practically lived off of Cigarettes and red bull. Something like 5 packs a day of smokes!
dolphan117Luxury BoxIts sad news but as pointed out he his diet when out at sea made health issues inevitable. Its a harsh enough job as it is but when you drink nothing but energy drinks and cigs there is just no way to stay healthy.

I use to shake my head the way Phil treated his body, this stroke is no surprise at all unfortunately.
MikeHonchoSupporterNot shocked at all.
Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.
Ronnie BassLuxury Box‘Deadliest Catch’ Captain Phil Harris Dies
Captain Phil Harris, star of Discovery’s ‘Deadliest Catch,’ has died.
Harris, who captained the Cornelia Marie for 18 years, suffered a massive stroke on Jan. 29th while offloading the boat in St. Paul Island, Alaska. After a difficult surgery and a medically induced coma to reduce brain swelling, Harris was reportedly ’showing progress’ over the weekend. A Discovery spokesperson confirmed Captain Phil passed away Tuesday.
Harris’ sons, Jake and Josh, made the announcement:
“It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad — Captain Phil Harris. Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end. For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down. We will remember and celebrate that strength. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers.”
Just so sad. RIP Phil, you were a great captain.
padre31Luxury BoxWow, pity that, watching that series one really got the feeling that you knew those folks risking their lives on the fleet.
He'll be missed.
