Below Deck Cameraman Brent Freeburg Enters Coma After Strokes

Brent Freeburg, a cameraman from the reality show Below Deck, is currently in a coma after suffering two strokes and a subdural hematoma on February 15. His family has set up a GoFundMe page that has raised over $60,000 towards a $500,000 goal to help cover medical expenses and facilitate his transfer from California to a hospital on the East Coast, where his family resides. Freeburg is known for saving cast member Ashton Pienaar during a life-threatening incident on the show in 2018, which has prompted Pienaar and others to call for support. Updates from Freeburg's family indicate that he is responding to commands and is no longer on a breathing tube, showing signs of recovery. However, they continue to face challenges due to his lack of health insurance and the need for medical transport. The family describes this situation as a significant tragedy, highlighting Freeburg's strength and the impact he has had on those around him.
