Chevy Chase<\/strong><\/a> was put into a coma by doctors for more than a week after his heart failed in 2021, friends and family of the star revealed in a new documentary.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The actor and his loved ones gave extensive interviews for CNN’s new documentary, “I\u2019m Chevy Chase and You\u2019re Not” according to Variety<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Chevy’s wife, Jayni Chase<\/strong>, says in the new doc that she took her husband to the emergency room because they didn’t know what was wrong with him … which was when his heart just stopped.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

Janyi tells CNN, “During those years he was drinking, he got cardiomyopathy; when the heart muscles get weaker, and they can\u2019t pump as much blood out with each beat.” Chase dealt with substance abuse issues for years … going to rehab in the 1980s for prescription pills and again in 2016<\/strong><\/a> for alcohol abuse.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Doctors decided to put Chevy into a coma, his longtime friend Peter Aaron <\/strong>says … with Chevy’s daughter Caley Chase<\/strong> adding doctors admitted they “might not get him back” and warning the family to prepare for the worst.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Chevy ultimately survived … though he now suffers from memory issues — and, when confronted in the documentary with his alleged behavior on “Saturday Night Live” and “Community,” he says he can’t remember much of it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
