Discovery channel’s show
Deadliest Catch
star
Phil Harris
suffered a stroke Sunday while off loading his boat in Dutch Harbor Alaska.

Phil was air lifted to Anchorage for emergency surgery.  Phil’s boat the Cornelia Marie is back out on the Bering Sea, without the Harris boys or their father.
 
Harris’ sons, Josh and Jake, released the following statement:

“Josh and Jake Harris thank everyone for their heartfelt thought and prayers. The Deadliest Catch’ community has always been more like family than just fans, and Discovery Channel joins the Harris boys in thanking everyone for their wishes of support. Captain Phil is resting comfortably and is in the care of excellent doctors and nurses. We will update everyone on his progress as best we can.”

Phil Harris suffered a blood clot to the heart in 2008.

If you have ever watched the show you would know that Phil is a heavy smoker and does not live the healthiest life. I guess being out on the sea for weeks at a time takes its toll on a person.

Best wishes to Phil and his family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
