Sad news this morning: Phil Harris, captain of the Cornelia Marie fishing boat featured on Deadliest Catch, has died in Alaska. He was 53.

Harris suffered a massive stroke on Jan. 29 while the Cornelia Marie was in port at St. Paul Island, Alaska. The boat captain was flown to Anchorage for surgery.

"It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad - Captain Phil Harris. Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end," sons Josh and Jake Harris said in a statement on the Cornelia Marie site. "For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down."

In a statement the network said, "Discovery mourns the loss of dear friend and colleague Captain Phil Harris. He was more than someone on our television screen. Phil was a devoted father and loyal friend to all who knew him. We will miss his straightforward honesty, wicked sense of humor and enormous heart. We share our tremendous sadness over this loss with the millions of viewers who followed Phil's every move. We send our thoughts and prayers to Phil's sons Josh and Jake and the Cornelia Marie crew."

Wow, thats really sad, I really liked him. He did lead a really unhealthy lifestyle though. Copious ammounts of nicotine, red bull, and constant lack of sleep will wear on your body after year....

Thank goodness. That show was still going on pure inertia.

I watch the show every now and then. I remeber a guy at work being excited to watch it. I said they fight too much. He said he thought that was funny. I said I like to see less fighting and more building. Overall I did like the show. Vinny is cool and Cody is too. Cody looks like he has been hitting the weights. Business can cause problems but they had problems to start with. I hope the family still does well. Jr is doing his own thing now. I wonder how that is going.

Ditto to these and everything else said.

I hate reality TV. The programming people need to get a bit more creative.

Goddammit 101, this is the third time this week I agree with you, and it's only Wednesday.

OCC produced nothing but crap. Crap bikes, Crap TV, Crap t-shirts, and Crappy dysfunctional family crap.

The show was a Crap Fest. Craptacular shit wads of crap, designed for crap loving moron Crap-tards.
