A supernatural being?
Mark Sheppard — best known for his role as Crowley on the hit CW show “Supernatural” — revealed that he suffered a massive medical emergency Friday by being resuscitated four times after surviving six “massive heart attacks.”
“You’re not going to believe this,” Sheppard, 59, wrote Saturday on Instagram alongside a pic of his hospitalization. “Was on my way to an appointment yesterday when I collapsed in my kitchen. Six massive heart attacks later, and being brought back from dead 4 times.”
“I apparently had a 100% blockage in my LAD,” Sheppard added, referring to the left anterior descending artery of the heart.
Its blockage is commonly known as the “widowmaker” heart attack.
The Post reached out to Sheppard’s reps for comment.
Sheppard praised his wife, Sarah Louise Fudge — with whom he shares a 7-year-old daughter, Isabella Rose — and first responders.
“If not for my wife, the @losangelesfiredepartment at mullholland and the incredible staff @providencecalifornia St Joseph’s — I wouldn’t be writing this,” wrote the “Firefly” star. “My chances of survival were virtually nil. I feel great. Humbled once more. Home tomorrow! #spnfamily.”
Several of Sheppard’s “Supernatural” co-stars praised his resilience.
“Mark! You don’t need to do the most and biggest every time! 6 heart attacks? 2 or 3 would have been impressive enough,” commented castmate Misha Collins. “You’ve impressed us, okay. Now stop with this heal up and get back on the road with us. Love you, pal.”
“Omg mark I am so glad you’re recovering this is awful! Sending all my love to you and the family,” Felicia Day commented.
“Mark, WTF…if there is anything you need or I can do just let me know,” wrote John Barrowman, who co-starred with Sheppard in “Doctor Who.” “I am just a small journey away. Please do all they tell you to make yourself heal and get well.”
“You are a lovely soul and a lovely man. I am sending you lots of love,” Barrowman added.
Sheppard’s post even drew a response from the Los Angeles Fire Department’s official Instagram page, which read, “We’re so glad to hear of your outcome and wish you a full and speedy recovery!”
Sheppard is not the first “Supernatural” star to suffer tragedy.
Nicki Aycox, who played Meg Masters on the show, died in November 2022 at the age of 47.
And Jared Padalecki, 41, reportedly nearly died in a freak car accident at a fan expo in April 2022.
“Hey y’all! I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of love. I’m definitely on the mend and hoping to return to filming later this week,” the “Walker” actor tweeted later that month. “I’m so lucky to have had the best care and be surrounded by people who love me. So grateful for everyone.”
“Supernatural” aired from 2005 to 2020.
