Was on my way to an appointment yesterday when I collapsed in my kitchen. Six massive heart attacks later, and being brought back from dead 4 times I apparently had a 100% blockage in my LAD,” he wrote, referring to the\u00a0left anterior descending artery.<\/span><\/p>\n “The Widowmaker [sic],” he confirmed. “If not for my wife, the\u00a0<\/span>@losangelesfiredepartment<\/a>\u00a0at mullholland and the incredible staff\u00a0<\/span>@providencecalifornia<\/a>\u00a0St Joseph’s – I wouldn’t be writing this. My chances of survival were virtually nil. I feel great. Humbled once more. Home tomorrow!”<\/span><\/p>\n The actor’s health scare comes just one week after he showed off his 40-pound weight loss on Instagram, gushing that he’s “never felt better” and calling it a “new era.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sheppard starred as Crowley, the King of Hell, on the hit CW series between 2009 and 2020.
