..."What Exactly Happened To Adams?
As per his wife, Marilyn Adams, who notified The Hollywood Reporter, Neal Adams passed on Thursday in New York from sepsis complications. His daughter confirmed this to Variety as well.
Adams is survived by his wife Marilyn, five children, six granddaughters, and a great-grandson, according to Variety.
Neal announced in a video posted on his Facebook page on June 6 that he had been battling sepsis, a life-threatening blood infection that put him in the NYU ICU for 11 days. “I’m quite sure I should be dead,” he said. He lost 40 pounds and half his muscular tone as a result of the sickness, which also caused him to become insane (“I went to hell”) and confine him to a walker, which he has since abandoned.
The doctors told Marilyn Adams, Neal’s wife and a long-time Continuity colleague, that they anticipated Neal to die because 40 to 60 percent of sepsis patients die. Marilyn sat by her husband’s bedside for hours, disoriented but unaffected, until he suddenly recovered, exactly like in a comic book!
On June 12, a photo posted to Facebook showed Neal and Marilyn beaming as they stood high above the Rockaways surf at Bar Marseille in Queens, accompanied by their family. As in vintage photographs of FDR, the wheelchair is hardly visible."
