Overview

• Harper said many former Biggest Loser colleagues reached out after his 2017 cardiac arrest; Michaels was the sole former co-star who offered no support.
• In February 2017 he experienced a 'widow-maker' heart attack during a gym workout in New York City, was clinically dead for several minutes, then was revived by on-site medical professionals.
• In a 2017 interview Michaels attributed his cardiac event to his CrossFit-style workouts, paleo diet and family history.
• Harper described the heart attack as a traumatic ordeal that reshaped his emotional outlook, driving him to focus primarily on yoga and gentler exercise.
• Us Weekly, the New York Post and other outlets have reached out to Michaels’s representatives for comment; no public response has been reported.
