Concern for the German actor Heinz Hoenig.

The 72-year-old is in a coma and fighting for his life. He has been flown to a Berlin hospital by helicopter on Tuesday and had a stent inserted there. His condition is still critical and another heart operation is scheduled to take place this Friday.

In January 2024 he took part in the German edition of I'm a Celebrity.... get me out of here, but had to leave the camp after about 10 days for health reasons.

Obvious next "Camp" fatality, and honestly, we're just waiting for that final update.

Ah, bad miss by us.

Tough to tell though because he did his shtick until the end. But at 90+ years of age, everything is possible.

 

Edit: Also a DDP pick, but let's see.

 

Edit: Went to the Opera as usual in February, married (again) in June. Sudden medical episode... These things happen, but... annoying.

Just remember his motto on life "You're only as old as the woman you're feeling."

 

I can hear the sighs of relief of many potential Opernball guests followed by something interesting popping up in relation to his will.
