Captain of the Cornelia Marie fishing boat from the series "Deadliest Catch"... ?Deadliest Catch? captain Harris dies - REALITY TV- msnbc.com We watch the show because we have friends in AK and Washington that know about em, and it's a funny show when you see the lives of folks confined on a small floating speck in the vastness of the sea. I wish their family peace.
He sat in his captain's chair for hours and hours at a time, chain smoking, in a high stress situation. I am surprised he made it to 53.
He asked for what he got, and he passed it on to his children, not a great example of a man, and I like him and the show.
The fishing was probably more dangerous than the smoking. He also had a pulmonary embolism while fishing which I don't think smoking is a large contributing factor. Maybe the embolism was more a factor in the stroke than the smoking. Who knows? Anyway he was also into Corvettes and a car guy.
