On his appearance on “The Jess Cagle Show,” Chad Michael Murray elaborated on why he had been hospitalized. When he was 15 years old, his intestines twisted, but no one quite knew what was wrong. The actor was in great physical condition because he played football, but his abs hid the problem. “When I started bleeding internally, my stomach didn’t expand. Basically, my abs kept it flat, and so the doctors couldn’t tell that I was bleeding,” Murray revealed.

Murray added that he nearly died in the hospital and there was even a priest at the end of his bed to perform his last rites. Meanwhile, Murray recalled, his father was crying and praying at the end of his bed, which Murray saw in the rare moments he was awake. Murray has previously spoken about his close relationship with his father to Seventeen, telling the magazine, “I idolize my father. I mean, he has worked so hard in his life.” Murray’s hospitalization was clearly an emotional moment for the two.
