The Price Is Right announcer George Gray was stricken with three heart attacks and is recovering at an Arizona hospital, Entertainment Tonight reported Sunday.
Gray, 53, on the show since 2011 , felt chest pains a week ago and had his first attack on the way to the hospital, a rep told ET. A failed stent procedure led to a second attack. Gray had his biggest heart attack, a so-called widowmaker, on the operating table, Variety reported .
Thats when doctors who had planned single-bypass surgery decided on the spot to perform a multiple-bypass operation, Grays wife Brittney told USA Today .
A vacation canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic may have saved Grays life, she noted.
We were supposed to be in Thailand for our one-year wedding anniversary during this time, Brittney Gray said. If COVID-19 didnt happen, we would have been on a plane back and he most likely would be dead. We jokingly but not seriously say that COVID-19 saved his life.
