RIP Deadliest Catch's Captain Harris
 

read it on tmz.

yep.. all deaded up... i liked that guy, but i knew he ddidnt have long when he didnt give up the smoking, etc after his first bout..

at least he died doing something he loved... :2 cents:





.

Wow. Yesterday I read that he was getting better and making a good recovery.

Not a huge shocker. I wonder if the camera crews were there.

Nope.

I do not watch the show regularly, but I did catch a couple of episodes where his health was a focus. So it was only a matter of time. I am surprised he made it this long to be honest.

:2 cents:

very sad news

That guy was tough one.

R.I.P

R.I.P. Captain Harris.
One of the best shows on TV lost one of their greatest (and most stubborn) stars.

R.i.p. ..

yeah just heard that on the news :/ sad shit indeed

I guess smoking 2 packs of cigarettes and drinking 15 redbulls every day isn't good for you afterall.

its a sad day in the fishing world...

RIP good fisherman... tough life and those guys work 5000% harder than most of us in our lifetimes.

That sucks, I really liked him. :(

Yes he sure did smoke a ton and drink a lot of red bulls

Ahh that sucks, I always liked him on that show. I wonder if his two sons will be able to continue on with their family business.

Fuck fuck FUCK - he was my fav! RIP Phil

always liked him. only 53 years.

rest in peace man and thanks for all the entertainment. it was nice from god that the stroke came while unloading crabs and not while shopping or while driving a bike. r.i.p.

oh jesus this came out of nowhere

The "most dangerous job in the world" and he's taken down by nicotine and caffine. Shame.

RIP Phil...fish on!

so did i :(:(:(

how did it happen?

So long, Captain...

It's a tough call. His son's always seemed a little too young to do it on the show. If he could have gone another 5 years they probably would have a better shot.

I'm sure the loss of their dad will probably toughen them up alot and give them the drive to succeed, but to be honest I can't really see them commanding the respect necessary to run a crew like that. They don't seem to have enough maturity or experience. :( :2 cents:

That blows, i liked him and watched the show a lot
RIP Captain Harris :(

So sad.. he was one of my fav's on that show RIP CAPTAIN PHIL

RIP Capt. Harris

Farewell Captain. :(

RIP! He was gruff but entertaining and cool . . . and a top-notch guy to be on a reality show.

RIP Captain Phil.

Fuck that sucks, seemed like a really genuine guy.

He did it to himself. Why feel sorry? Dies at 53 because he's a fool who abused his body to death and leaves behind two kids.

More natural selection at work.

Fuck you ass hole! Good damn I wish your dad would of sprayed your mums face instead of letting your dumb ass lose in her $15.00 snatch! Bottom feeding troll!

I'm sorry he died, he sounded like a really cool guy; but you gotta admit he didn't take good care of himself, so yes, partially at least he brought this upon himself.

wow, rip

R.I.P. Captain Harris

That sucks he was really cool to watch...RIP CAPT HARRIS

and lack of sleep and stress

He was a tough and (stubborn) ole fucker! I will miss him on the show.

Just goes to show how the power of nicotine is a motherfucker!

He is half dead coughing up blood and still smoking out in front of the hospital!

rip.. sorry to hear

Did I miss some medical report where smoking leads to a STROKE???

FWIW:

Phill had a blood clot damn near kill him not too long ago, he fought his way through that, AND if you were / are an avid watcher of the show then you would know that after his last near death venture he cut WAY BACK on the smoking.

Just a few weeks ago he suffered a stroke during an offload at St. Paul, he was found on the floor of his cabin and air lifted to a hospital in Anchorage Alaska.

Over the past week or so he WAS doing much better, sitting up, talking, moving about etc etc, and then last night... he was called back home.

To the people here blaming this on smoking... OK, I'm SURE it did not help his health... fuck NOTHING these guys do HELPS their health, but like I said, I for one have never heard about a link between smoking and a stroke.

just my 2 cents mind you.

RIP Phill you will be missed

-Loki-

RIP mate. He was really bad ass.

Well put ma'am well put!

i do not know him but R.I.P.

obviously....

According to the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services, stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, affecting upwards of 700,000 people each year. For smokers, the risk of stroke is nearly 2 1/2 times that of nonsmokers.

RIP Phil I think him and Sig are the best ones on DC and now 1 is gone to be with the big fisherman in the sky. Hopefully TLC/Disco will do a fitting tribute whenever the show starts up again.

Rip........

RIP Capt Phil

A hard working self made man

just curious, do you smoke by any chance lol.

When you smoke your whole life and stop at age 53, the damage is pretty much done by then. Between the smoking, caffine ( i think he only drank redbull) and very little sleep, no nutritional food etc.... im surprised he made it to 54. I don't think you could do worst damage to your body if you tried. Sad to see him go though. Good show.
