Article doesn't say anything about Alzheimer's, and another one states that doctors ruled out the idea it was Alzheimer's.

Jack Nicholson had a similar problem remembering lines. Being old and forgetful doesn't always mean dementia!

Reports are now saying he's in a coma, meaning that the stroke wasn't "mild" as the family had earlier described. Also, his family is now in the process of preparing a conservatorship for him.

I remember him from one of the earliest Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes, 'Code of Honor'.  One not looked upon fondly by many.

Problem with this is no-one can read the story in EU due to GPDR.

 

But that's not your fault. Some US sites are readable, just the way it is, some things will never change....

That happens this direction too -- mostly with the videos y'all post.  A fair share of them can' be viewed by us Yanks.  I don't bother saying...like you, it's just our problem and move along to the next post.

Actor Sam Lloyd diagnosed with brain tumour:

https://pagesix.com/2019/02/05/scrubs-actor-sam-lloyd-diagnosed-with-cancer/

 

He was Ted on Scrubs. I think I remember him from Galaxy Quest.

 

This guy is real lucky at the moment. His brain cancer, basically gone and all his other tumours have seemingly reduced by half in size. This guy has 4 different types of cancer btw.

 

(info from his GoFundMe)
