read the entire post. right there in the TITLE part, in BOLD It says he is dead, but not from an heart attack. perhaps you need to check your facts before reporting something. I was not trying to be a hero I was only correcting your mistake in reporting.

 

CNN0 -- Capt. Phil Harris of the Discovery Channel show "The Deadliest Catch" died Tuesday of complications from a stroke suffered late last month. He was 53.

Harris, the tattooed and gruff captain of the Cornelia Marie, was a fan favorite in the reality show about crab fishing off Alaska.

"Discovery mourns the loss of dear friend and colleague Captain Phil Harris. He was more than someone on our television screen. Phil was a devoted father and loyal friend to all who knew him," a statement from the network said. "We will miss his straightforward honesty, wicked sense of humor and enormous heart."

Harris suffered a massive stroke on January 29 while his crew offloaded crab at St. Paul Island, Alaska.

"It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad -- Captain Phil Harris," said a statement from his sons, Jake and Josh Harris. "Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end

this is what i read

 

that sucks. i wonder if they will talk about it in the beginning of this new season. like a tribute or something

 

Damn... That guy was the bees knees.

 

Wow thats HORRIBLE. Phil was a real cool cat to watch on that show. what ashame to hear that he passed away. I doubt his family is ever on the site but if they ever read this my heart goes out to your family, what a terrible loss. he was my favorite to watch on that show......
RIP PHIL HARRIS

 

I am sure they will, he passed away in the middle of the opilio crab season. He had a blood clot travel thru his heart two seasons ago while he was out at sea. When he came back to port, he went to the hospital for tests and was not able to return for the rest of the season. He returned last season, but I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be the end of that story.

He will be missed by many more than just his family.
