He was in the hospital and placed on a ventilator on April 6. Earlier this month, Fred’s wife had recently opened up about his condition. A doctor told his wife, LeeAnn Jemmott, that he might not make it.
“It was just like — he’s gone and he’s gonna die, that’s it. I don’t even know how I felt, I just felt like I was going to die,” said Jemmott.
However, he had been showing some signs of improvement.
“Now, instead of the ventilator supporting him 100%, it’s supporting him 70%,” said Jemmott.
But he ultimately lost the battle Thursday.
