UPDATE: Kirk Medas has died as friends and family rally around him.
“Floribama Shore” star Kirk Medas is in the intensive care unit on a ventilator.
His former castmate Nilsa Prowant shared an update about Medas on her Instagram, saying that he’s been in the ICU fighting necrotizing pancreatitis.
Necrotizing pancreatitis is a health problem in which part of your pancreas dies because of inflammation or injury,” per Ceders Sinai.
Prowant added that Medas has been in a Miami hospital for two weeks and is currently sedated, using a ventilator to breathe.
“He’s going to have a long road to recovery, so his mom asked me to share this video,” Prowant said in the video. “I did fly down there and see him. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever seen in my life because you guys know how close me and Kirk are.”
Medas’ family has started a GoFundMe to help with the medical bills.
“Next month, whatever I make from this video and posting this video, it’s going to go directly to Kirk and his mom for his recovery,” she added. “Thank you guys and please, please, please pray for Kirk.”
