Title: Gallagher In A Coma
Post by: Snaggletiger on March 16, 2012, 03:09:46 PM: Comedian Gallagher has been placed in a medically induced coma following a heart attack at a Texas bar before his show Wednesday.

Gallagher's promotional manager, Christine Scherrer, says the 65-year-old is sedated and "slowly recovering" after collapsing Wednesday night.

Scherrer said the comedian will remain in the coma for the next 24 hours to relax and recover, People.com reports. She said the comedians family is with him and that the doctors think his vital signs are good.

Marc Cummins, the manager of Coach Joe's Hat Tricks in Lewisville, Texas, says says the club's promotions director performed CPR on Gallagher before paramedics arrived. Gallagher had reportedly just finished conducting a meet-and-greet with fans before collapsing ahead of his show.

Last March, the comedian best known for smashing watermelons with a sledgehammer suffered a minor heart attack after collapsing during a performance in Minnesota. His full name is Leo Anthony Gallagher

I drank myself into a coma one time. I didn't feel rested at all afterward.

Every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.
