Earlier today, a bad news arrived when Captain Phil Harris had a massive stroke attacked, where, unfortunately, he died at the age of 53. Phil Harris was known to be the Captain of the Cornelia Marie vessel in the “Deadliest Catch” show at Discovery Channel.

“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.”
