Supernatural star Mark Sheppard has revealed he’s lucky to have survived after suffering six massive heart attacks on the weekend and dying four times.
In an Instagram post from his hospital bed, Sheppard, 59, revealed he collapsed at home in his kitchen before being rushed to hospital with a “100 per cent blockage” in his left anterior descending artery.
“If not for my wife, the @losangelesfiredepartment at Mulholland and the incredible staff @providencecalifornia St Joseph’s – I wouldn’t be writing this. My chances of survival were virtually nil,” he revealed in his lengthy post.
