Overview

• At age 15, a twisted bowel triggered life-threatening internal bleeding that sent Murray to the brink of death.
• He spent two and a half months in the hospital, undergoing two surgeries and losing roughly 50 percent of his blood before doctors administered last rites.
• By his discharge, he had dropped from 82 kilograms to just 53, recalling how he barely recognized himself in the mirror.
• Murray credits the ordeal for deepening his Catholic faith and strengthening his relationship with his father.
• A nurse’s encouragement during his recovery prompted him to try modeling, which ultimately opened the door to his acting career.
