A thread here that ran last night. He fell into coma on Saturday night after having a heart attack. That speaks of something that came on quickly.
So let me get this straight. Reeve was suffering from a serious blood infection brought on by bed sores that ultimately caused the heart attack at his home. He never regained consciousness at the hospital after arriving there, and Kerry says he had a long cell phone call with Reeve's either Friday night after 10:30 P.M. or sometime Saturday before this serious infection caused cardiac arrest. Ya, that makes perfect sense to me. HEAVY SARCASM!!
Reeve publicist Wesley Combs told reporters the American actor, 52, died in a New York hospital on Sunday.
He said in a statement Reeve went into a coma on Saturday after suffering a heart attack at his home during treatment for a pressure wound.
"The wound had become severely infected...Reeve was admitted to Northern Westchester Hospital on Saturday evening and never regained consciousness," the statement said on Monday.
Reeve has been confined to a wheelchair after suffering multiple injuries, including two shattered neck vertebrae, when he was thrown from his horse at an equestrian event in 1995.
