Deadliest Catch Captain Phil Harris dies
Mikey 4 commentsFans of the totally awesome deadly insanity that is 'The Deadliest Catch' might be saddened to learn as I was that Captain Phil Harris has died.
Phil suffered a stroke 2 weeks ago and was placed in a medically induced coma. After waking he was starting to improve but gave up yesterday in hospital.
Those who followed the show will remember he was in hospital a couple of years ago for a different but he eventually pulled through and was given the all-clear to return to sea.
Capt Phil was an amazing, honest tell-it-like-it-is person, that along with his two sons Jake and Josh brought some amazing stories, drama and dry wit to the show.
If you've not seen the Deadliest Catch, grab a copy from your local DVD library. You'll be hooked.
He smoked like a chimney, it's no great surprise. Still unfortunate though.
that is really quite sad. phil is one of my favourite people on one of my favourite shows. in fact it is the only show i have set to record every week on my foxtel...
oh no.. he was the best character on the doco. and will be sorely missed by his fans, let alone his family
