Same 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!
Its 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.
‘Deadliest Catch’ Captain Phil Harris Dies http://www.fancast.com/blogs/2010/t...h-captain-phil-harris-dies/?cmpid=FCST_tvnews Just so sad. RIP Phil, you were a great captain.
Wow, 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.
