William Shatner’s Health Crisis

William Shatner almost died on the operating table last week. The 77 year old actor best know for his role as Captain Kirk on “Star Trek” developed heart complications while receiving a hip replacement last week.

“The hip replacement surgery went fine,” said a source. “But William’s heart started beating erratically. For a few seconds, it looked like he might die on the table.”

After the surgery when William found out, he was very shaken. “Until now he’s had no real medical problems. But he’s overweight and out of shape, so hearing he had a heart problem scared the hell out of him.”

The source says William is now recovering nicely at home., “William feels fine and he’s already walking,” the source said. “He said he’s going to drop some weight and start taking better care of himself.”

William’s very fortunate. This type of thing can be fatal. Thank goodness it’s serving as a wake up call for him (and maybe some others?) to get back into shape.
