‘He was brought back from the edge’: Chevy Chase endured eight days in a coma during Covid pandemic.
Chevy Chase experienced a “near fatal” cardiac event that caused him being placed in an medically induced coma during the pandemic, as revealed in a new documentary project about the American actor and comedian.
As documented in I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not, the star of movies such as Caddyshack and the National Lampoon series, who emceed the Oscars on two occasions, was hospitalized for five weeks in the medical facility.
“He wasn't right, and he couldn’t explain to me what was wrong. So, we went to the ER. His heart gave out. During those years he was drinking, he developed cardiomyopathy; which is when the heart muscles get weaker, and they can’t pump as much blood out with each beat.”
Medical professionals then put him into a coma for over a week, before advising his daughter, his daughter: “We might not get him back. We don’t know how aware he’ll be. Prepare yourselves for the worst.”
“When he woke up, all he was able to do was use his voice,” she added. “He has practically returned from the dead.”
He himself has revealed that he has dealt with memory problems since his medical ordeal, and in the project he fails to recall some of his past professional and personal disputes, including a physical altercation with fellow comedian Bill Murray in a Saturday Night Live dressing room.
The comedian noted he was “disappointed” by his absence from the 50th-anniversary show of SNL recently, at which he was in the audience but not featured.
“Well, it was kind of upsetting actually,” he said. “This is probably the first time I’m saying it. But I expected that I would’ve been on the stage too with all the other actors. When former castmates Garrett Morris and Laraine Newman took the stage, I was wondering as to why I wasn't. I wasn't invited. Why was I overlooked?”
The 82-year-old, almost died in 1980 when he was shocked by electricity on the set of Modern Problems, an incident which triggered a period of depression.
