Supernatural star Mark Sheppard has revealed he recently suffered six ‘massive’ heart attacks and had to be resuscitated four times after collapsing in his kitchen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 59-year-old actor credited his wife Sarah Louise Fudge with saving his life and said he felt ‘humbled’ by the near-death experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He posted a photograph of himself laying in a hospital bed looking bedraggled with several heart monitor devices attached to his chest on Saturday.<\/p>\n
‘You\u2019re not going to believe this!’ the father-of-three told his 1.7 million Instagram followers in the post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Was on my way to an appointment yesterday when I collapsed in my kitchen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Six massive heart attacks later, and being brought back from dead four times I apparently had a 100 percent blockage in my LAD. The Widowmaker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘If not for my wife, the @losangelesfiredepartment at Mullholland and the incredible staff @providencecalifornia St Joseph\u2019s – I wouldn\u2019t be writing this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘My chances of survival were virtually nil. I feel great. Humbled once more. Home tomorrow! #spnfamily’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The LAD is the largest coronary artery, which carries almost 50 percent of the blood to the heart, according to the New York-Presbyterian\/ Columbia University Irving Medical Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A ‘widowmaker’ is a colloquial term for when this artery becomes blocked – and it’s one of the deadliest forms of cardiac arrest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
