‘He has come back from the dead’: Chevy Chase was in eight days in a medically induced coma during Covid pandemic.
The famed comedian suffered a “potentially fatal” cardiac event that caused him being placed in an induced coma in 2021, as revealed in a new documentary project about the entertainment icon.
Featured in I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not, the legend of films such as Caddyshack and the National Lampoon series, who emceed the Oscars twice, spent a total of five full weeks in the hospital.
“Something was wrong, and he couldn’t explain to me what was wrong. So, we headed to the ER. His heart stopped. During those years he was drinking, he got cardiomyopathy; when the heart muscles get weaker, and they can’t pump as much blood through the body with each beat.”
Physicians subsequently induced him into a coma for over a week, before advising his daughter, Caley: “His return is uncertain. We are unsure how present he’ll be. You must prepare for the worst.”
“After regaining consciousness, all he was able to do was use his voice,” she added. “He has practically come back from the dead.”
He himself has revealed that he has suffered cognitive issues since his medical ordeal, and in the film he fails to recall some of his past on-set and backstage incidents, including a physical altercation with Bill Murray in a Saturday Night Live backstage area.
He expressed he was “disappointed” by his omission from the 50th anniversary special of SNL recently, at which he was in the crowd but not participating.
“Well, it was kind of upsetting actually,” he said. “I'm only now voicing this. But I thought that I would’ve been on the stage too with all the other actors. When co-stars Garrett Morris and Laraine Newman went on the stage, I was puzzled as to why I was not. No one asked me to. Why was I overlooked?”
The 82-year-old, came close to death in 1980 when he was shocked by electricity on the set of Modern Problems, an accident which triggered a period of depression.
