Phil Harris Died Cornelia Marie, Captain Phil Harris Dead: Captain 
Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie has passed away yesterday. The news comes as a great shock to both his families. The reason that I say both his families is because he was loved by so many around the world and he considered his television crew on the Discovery channel to be a part of his family. With his show “The Deadliest Catch” being aired in over a hundred and fifty countries worldwide the news is sure to spread like wild fire.
Phil Harris, Captain of Cornelia Marie was also a deep sea diver and was just fifty-three when he suffered from a stroke on the twenty-ninth of January. Though his family members were of the hope and wish that he may recuperate from his condition, it was not the case. Devastated by the news his sons Jake Harris and Josh Harris stated that he was a fighter.
After undergoing a lengthy duration of twelve hours of surgery Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie was put into a medically stimulated coma. Though there were some signs of his health improving just a few days ago, Phil Harris could not make it through.
Many of his followers have been overwhelmed by the news with one of them holding the view of Phil Harris being the most ‘real’ captain on the show. As followers of “The Deadliest Catch” mourn his sudden death at such an early age one significant point is raised through this incident that life indeed is short and may be taken from us at any time.
