The Age of Insomnia
Brooke Burns has had quite an impressive career. The “Baywatch” actor has hosted a number of game shows, including “Dog Eat Dog,” “Hole in the Wall,” and “You Deserve It. While her life in showbiz has been a dream, her personal life hasn’t always been so sunny.
During an appearance on “Hollywood Medium,” Burns spoke to medium Tyler Henry about the shocking death of her grandparents. The actor revealed that her grandmother killed her grandfather in a murder-suicide. Henry had sensed details about the tragedy earlier in the episode, telling Burns, “The exact symbol is kind of a reference to another reading that I gave where unfortunately a man contributed to his passing and his wife’s passing, and it’s kind of that type of a feeling.” Burns corrected him. “Yeah, in reverse,” she shared. “Not his choice, her choice.”

Burns also endured a frightening injury when she hit her head on the bottom of her pool. In a 2015 chat with Brain & Life magazine, she shared that her firefighter and paramedic friend happened to be visiting at the time, and his guidance in that moment was invaluable. “My friend let me remain in the water and didn’t put any pressure on my spinal cord, and as a result he saved both my life and my mobility,” the game show host said. When she got to the hospital, doctors installed metal plates and a titanium rod in her body to help her with her recovery process.
