Deadliest Catch: Keith Colburn’s Latest Health Update

Keith Colburn made headlines last October after suffering from cardiac issues while on the sea. He was rushed to the hospital and fought for his life at Anchorage General. It was revealed that the Deadliest Catch star had “lost consciousness multiple times at sea,” and one incident led him to fall headfirst. Keith explained in one of his scenes that he’s experiencing left-sided numbness, making fans think he suffered from a heart attack or stroke.

Fortunately, his test results were normal, but the doctors never ruled out the possibility of him having a heart attack. Keith has been itching to get back into the boat since. But when he decided to see a cardiologist, he received news that may put him away from the boat for a while. Keith told his brother, “It could have been a stroke, not sure. So I will not be coming back to the boat in the next couple days, I’ll tell you that right now.”

Fans Think Keith Is Painful On TV

Many fans have been binge-watching Deadliest Catch due to its growing popularity. However, a Reddit user thinks Keith Colburn is painful to watch on TV. According to the OP, he seems too aware of being on TV and often acts unnaturally. Others agreed and even called him a “bully” due to his strong personality, while some said he’s one of the most dramatic members of the crew. But several commenters told the OP that most reality shows are the same.

• “Realizing reality TV isn’t actual reality is the first step.”
• “Well, to some extent, they all play to the cameras, Johnathan one of the best.”
• “He’s the biggest pussy on the show. Worse, he thinks he’s the toughest. Classic bully.”
• “If that’s the case I’m surprised he can find people to work for him.”
• “You new to reality tv? All of it is created for views.”

Deadliest Catch: Will Keith Colburn & The Crew Return?

It was already confirmed that Deadliest Catch will return for another season. Earlier this year, Newton Garcia, one of the film crew members of the show, revealed that they have already filmed for Deadliest Catch Season 21. He even shared a photo from the boat carrying tons of crabs.

Keith Colburn has yet to share if he’ll be back in the upcoming season. But some fans think it would take him more time to rest, especially given the dangers of his job.
