Sure, they have the money to delay their fateful meeting with death, but that’s not always the case. On more than one occasion, celebrities have found themselves face to face with the Grim Reaper. Some of them died way before their time. Some of them were a little luckier. They almost died and returned from the other world to describe their near-death experience.
Here follows a list of 25 Celebrities Who Nearly Died And Few Know About It.
Morgan sustained brain trauma, a broken leg and broken ribs in the accident and spent over a month in the hospital. During the summer of 2018, Clooney had a scooter accident that could have easily killed him. According to the local reports, a car cut him off and they collided. Clooney “jumped” 20 feet in the air from the impact of the collision and flew over the car that he hit. He was lucky enough to walk away with just scrapes and bruises this time. He had tried to take his life at the age of 38 by overdosing on pills while simultaneously slitting his wrist. Osbourne suffered a broken collarbone, eight fractured ribs that pinched several blood vessels, and a damaged vertebrae in his neck. He said, “The bloody thing nearly killed me. I am lucky to be here today and not dead or paralyzed.” During an underwater expedition in Cape Town, the actor was feeding a great white through a shark cage. A big wave flipped the cage though and the shark landed with half its body inside. Leo flattened down at the bottom of the cage, while the big shark kept trying to take a bite of him. When he returned home, he had a temperature of 107. Lawrence was rushed to the hospital where he briefly slipped into a coma. Seymour had a severe case of the flu and was given an injection of penicillin. She suffered an allergic reaction which led to a near-death experience that changed her life forever. Since then, Busey went on doing some awesome movies including Point Break and Predator 2. Lundgren agreed to not hold back and punched Stallone so hard in the chest that almost killed him. Like literally. Stallone’s heart slammed against his breastbone and began to swell. “The beating became labored, and without medical attention the heart would’ve continued to swell until it stopped,” Stallone said in an interview, who spent a couple of weeks in an intensive care unit. Paramedics arrived on the set and took the actress to a nearby hospital. She took all kinds of tests via MRIs and CAT scans for the next 48 hours. Barrymore described the traumatic experience as “f***ing terrifying.” Sutherland saw himself floating above his body, surrounded by soft blue light. “I began to glide down a long tunnel, away from the bed … but suddenly I found myself back in my body. The doctors told me later that I had actually died for a time,” the actor said in an interview. The famous actor not only was lucky enough to walk away with his life from all this, but he did so unharmed too!

For her good luck, she managed to get free and get out of water before it was too late. The pilot, co-pilot, a security guard and Travis Barker’s personal assistant were instantly killed.
