‘He has come back from the dead’: The comedy legend endured eight days in a coma during the pandemic.

Chevy Chase suffered a “near fatal” heart failure that caused him being put into an medically induced coma amid the global health crisis, per details from a new film about the entertainment icon.

Featured in I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not, the legend of films such as Caddyshack and the National Lampoon series, who emceed the Oscars on two occasions, was hospitalized for five weeks in the hospital.

“Something was wrong, and he was unable to describe to me what was wrong. So, we went to the ER. His heart stopped. During those years he was drinking, he developed cardiomyopathy; which is when the heart muscles get weaker, and they can’t pump as much blood out with each beat.”

Medical professionals then put him into a coma for eight days, before warning his daughter, his daughter: “His return is uncertain. We don’t know how aware he’ll be. Get ready for the worst.”

“When he woke up, all he was able to do was use his vocal cords,” she continued. “He has essentially come back from the dead.”

He himself has revealed that he has experienced memory problems since his medical ordeal, and in the project he does not recollect some of his past professional and personal incidents, including a fistfight with Bill Murray in a Saturday Night Live dressing room.

Chase said he was “hurt” by his exclusion from the milestone special of SNL earlier this year, at which he was in the crowd but not participating.

“Well, it was kind of upsetting actually,” he said. “I'm only now voicing this. But I expected that I should have been on the stage too with all the other actors. When co-stars Garrett Morris and Laraine Newman were called up, I was wondering as to why I was not. I wasn't invited. Why was I excluded?”

Chase, 82, nearly lost his life in 1980 when he was shocked by electricity on the set of Modern Problems, an accident which precipitated a period of depression.
