Quick-acting EMTs on the scene played a crucial role in Sheppard's survival, successfully reviving him four times amid a barrage of massive heart attacks.
From TMZ:
According to Mark, he had a 100% blockage in his left anterior descending artery -- his LAD. That's also called a "widowmaker," and it was almost true to that name.
He credits his wife and the team at St. Joseph's Hospital with his survival, saying without them, "I wouldn't be writing this. My chances of survival were virtually nil."
As for his condition, another shock ... "I feel great. Humbled once more. Home tomorrow!"
As for reaction, his "Supernatural" costar Misha Collins said this -- "Mark! You don't need to do the most and biggest every time! 6 heart attacks? 2 or 3 would have been impressive enough. You've impressed us, okay. Now stop with this heal up and get back on the road with us. Love you, pal."
Honestly, experiencing even a single heart attack is a serious threat to most individuals. The sheer astonishment lies in the fact that this man not only survived one but managed to endure six and live to share the story. It's truly mind-boggling.
