Bam Margera narrowly avoided death during his recent hospitalization. During an appearance on the “Wild Ride” podcast, with fellow “Jackass” star Steve-O, Margera admitted, “Basically, I was pronounced dead on December 8” (via Variety). Margera also divulged, “I did not know that I had gnarly COVID and my body was shutting down. I went into four seizures, each one lasting 10 to 20 minutes.”
The reality star continued, “On the fourth one I bit my tongue so hard it was nearly fallen off. It got so swollen and puffy [that] it wouldn’t fit in my mouth. I was drinking the infected blood which gave me pneumonia as well.” Margera also shared that the experience was all a blur and at one point, he failed to understand how long he’d already been there.
“I went to the hospital and had my fifth seizure and then couldn’t breathe without a tube down my throat,” the pro-skater continued. “I woke up five days later thinking I was there for just a couple hours. I spent eight days in there.” This isn’t the first time that Margera has opened up about his health. In August 2022, after years of struggling with sobriety, he told Steve-O, also on his podcast, that thankfully he’s in a much better place.
“I actually have never felt better,” Margera noted at the time (via The Philadelphia Inquirer). He added, “I don’t want to do that anymore … I’m much happier without it.”
