Harris suffered a massive stroke on Jan. 29, his family says



ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A spokesman for The Discovery Channel says the captain of the "Deadliest Catch" fishing vessel Cornelia Marie has died. Capt. Phil Harris suffered what his family described as a massive stroke on Jan. 29 while the boat was in port at St. Paul Island, Alaska. He was flown to Anchorage for surgery. A Discovery spokesman says the Harris family contacted the network Tuesday evening with word of his death. Few details were released; however, Discovery Channel spokeswoman Elizabeth Hillman issued a statement on behalf of Harris' sons, Jake and Josh, saying their father has "always been a fighter and continued to be until the end." The Discovery Channel reality show depicts the crab fishing industry in the dangerous waters off Alaska. Harris' fishing vessel was based in Seattle.

I figured it was only a matter of time after what happened after he had that hard knock and had to go to the hospital in the middle of the season, only to find out he was lucky to be alive because it wasn't a broken rib causing him to cough up blood, but a clot. My s/o isn't going to be happy about this. He was his favorite Cap'n. [Mary MagdeleneStar] [reply]

R.I.P Captin Phil Harris D.C. won't be the same without you, and you will be greatly missed. [ßirdie] [reply]
