‘Supernatural’ Actor Mark Sheppard Recovering From Heart Attack

Actor Mark Sheppard considers himself fortunate to be alive after suffering a heart arrest.

The “Supernatural” actor said in an Instagram post that he collapsed in his kitchen on Friday.

“I apparently had a 100% blockage in my LAD after six massive heart attacks and being brought back from the dead four times.” “The Widowmaker (sic),” he captioned a photograph of himself in a hospital bed.

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, the term “LAD” refers to the left anterior descending artery, which delivers blood to the organ’s front left side.

According to the American Heart Association, a heart attack caused by a blockage in this area is sometimes referred to as a “widow maker.”

Sheppard stated that if it weren’t for his wife, the Los Angeles Fire Department, and the Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center staff, “I wouldn’t be writing this.”

Kim Rhodes, another of Sheppard’s “Supernatural” co-stars, also commented supporting the actor, adding, “Thank you for staying.”

According to Sheppard, the good news is that he is on the mend.

“I feel fantastic. “Humbled yet again,” he wrote.
