Holy Cow! We all knew he had or was having health problems but still..........

Yea I know... I mean he's been having health issues for awhile, but he couldn't kick his bad health habits.... I know living like that during the season is a huge strain on their bodys. Very sad... R.I.P.....

Deadliest Catch is the main reality show of this kind that I watch...I'll watch Ice road truckers, but Axe men and everything else doesn't do it for me. I hope they don't show too much during this season.

Man..it was a little tough to watch Phil during last nights episode knowing that he is dead. Also sad to know that his son Jake is on the Northwestern when Phil is first hit with the embolus. I'm sure that Sig gets Jake back to Dutch so he can be with his dad though.

Jonathon was sure pissed!

I agree it was very tough and a little strange. Too watch a chronicle of someone's last days, someone that does not know they are going to be gone so soon, is somewhat disturbing. Watching some of the decisions that he made, you can't help but sit there and wonder, "Would he do this if he KNEW he was going to be dead in 6 months?".

It really drives home the thought of not knowing what tomorrow brings.

I wonder if Phil had taken the proper measures to prevent future emboli? I mean most people are on anticoagulants and have filters placed. The guy was tough as nails but a trainwreck healthwise. In reality he should have died when he had the first one 2 season ago. A PE is no joke.

From the looks of him in the season opener, he had not. I don't know if he was on anticoagulants or not, but he had not lost an once of weight and I believe he was still smoking and most likely drinking.

His was a hard lifestyle to change though. I know career Navy guys and merchant marines that live like those guys do. Hell, I lived like that when I was in the Navy. You work so hard for months on end for 15-20 hrs a day every day. You get a few months a year on dry land and you are loaded with cash. Everyone around is living insanely, so you do too. It is hard to be a "healthy" person in that situation.
