Calgary Flames AGM Chris Snow Rushed to Hospital
Today on Twitter, Kelsie Snow announced that Chris was rushed to the hospital yesterday after suffering a tragic incident where he suffered cardiac arrest and a resulting catastrophic brain injury from the lack of oxygen to the brain.
With a shattered heart I've come to share that yesterday Chris became unresponsive and went into cardiac arrest. Paramedics and doctors were able to get his heart beating again but, devastatingly, a scan showed Chris has suffered a catastrophic brain injury caused by lack of oxygen. His doctors do not expect him to wake up from this. My chest feels cracked open and hollowed out. Chris is the most beautiful, brilliant person l'Il ever know and doing life without him feels untenable. Hug your people.
Snow was previously diagnosed with ALS in 2019, a disease that runs in his family.
