Mark Sheppard, best known for playing the demon Crowley in the hit TV series Supernatural, faced a major health crisis this past week when he suffered six heart attacks.
The actor shared the scary health update on Instagram on Sunday, Dec. 2, alongside a selfie of himself lying in his hospital bed, writing, "You’re not going to believe this! 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. The Widowmaker," he continued.
As the LAD provides a majority of the heart with blood, it can be very harmful to the individual and is harder to recover from.
Sheppard went on to thank his wife, the people at the Los Angeles Fire Department location who helped him and the staff at the hospital where he was treated, saying that without them, "I wouldn’t be writing this. My chances of survival were virtually nil. I feel great. Humbled once more. Home tomorrow! #spnfamily."

Mischa Collins, a main cast member from Supernatural, wrote to Sheppard, "Mark! You don't need to do the most and biggest every time! 6 heart attacks? 2 or 3 would have been impressive enough. You've impressed us, okay. Now stop with this heal up and get back on the road with us. Love you, pal."
"Omg mark I am so glad you’re recovering this is awful! Sending all my love to you and the family ??," wrote Felicia Day, another cast member, as Osric Chau, who played Kevin, added, "We are blessed, so happy you’re okay Mark ??????."
John Barrowman commented, "Mark, WTF…if there is anything you need or I can do just let me know. I am just a small journey away. Please do all they tell you to make yourself heal and get well. You are a lovely soul and a lovely man. I am sending you lots of love…Jb ??????."
"Whaaaat?? Oh my love I’m so sorry you had to go through something like this. But u my friend have been saved to do great things. Huge love. Sheesh," chimed in Doctor Who actress Michelle Gomez.
Sheppard's serious news brought in comments of support from many more co-stars and friends like Matt Bomer, Devon Sawa, Alaina Huffman and more. Fans were just as emotional and supportive, filling the comments with well wishes.
Along with Supernatural, Sheppard starred in shows like Leverage, White Collar and Doom Patrol, and most recently, he appeared in Walker: Independence.
