Grammer nearly died
Frasier star Kelsey Grammer has revealed how he nearly died after last month's heart attack, writes Jonathan Donald.
Grammer, 53, was taken to hospital after being stricken by chest pains while paddle-boarding with his wife in Hawaii.
His publicist said at the time it was a mild heart attack, but Grammer revealed that his heart actually stopped.
"They had to blast me twice and get me started all over again," Grammer told the show Entertainment Tonight.
"I did think, 'Oh gosh, I have got to hang on. I've got too much junk I've got to take care of. I've got to take care of the family.'"
He added that the ordeal felt "like somebody was actually trying to tear my chest apart with, like, the jaws of life".
