THE Chuck Norris suffered two nearly back to back heart attacks this past July while travelling through Nevada. While stopped at a rural casino with family for the night, Norris collapsed in the shower due to chest pain. Over the course of a 100 mile race via ambulance to the nearest hospital then on a trauma helicopter to Reno, one source reported "everything happened so fast that it felt like he died twice in 47 minutes! There was so much hysteria it’s impossible to know how long the ordeal lasted. People were watching the heart monitor — not the clock!”
Known as the man who doesn't do a push up, rather pushes the earth down, Chuck Norris credits his serious approach to health and fitness for his ability to recover from this traumatic event. “Chuck trains all the time and knows he has to take great care of his body. He’s slowed down a bit, but considers this just a blip.”
