The new trailer also shows personal troubles for Sig. “Grandma is not doing good right now — they just started morphine today,” he tells his daughter as he navigates the fishing vessel. Mandy fights tears as she hears the news.
Another clip shows Sig speaking at a funeral while wearing a suit. “The one thing I have not said is enough is that I love you,” he says to a casket on the ground. Given the clues from earlier in the trailer, it seems clear his mother died.
“Any Ideas on who’s funeral they show later in the series?” a fan on Reddit asked.
“I believe it’s for Sig’s mother,” another fan wrote.
An extended clip from Deadliest Catch Season 19 shows more of the devastating phone call Sig Hansen receives while he’s on the vessel with Mandy Hansen. June Hansen, Sig’s wife, calls him while he’s on the open water.
“She’s in hospice,” June tells Sig, likely referring to Sig’s mother. “They just put her on morphine and it could be hours. Nobody knows.”
“I’ll get this thing turned around, we’ll head in,” Sig tells June. Mandy overhears the conversation and cries in the background.
“Maybe you guys will be lucky and make it before, you know …,” June continues.

Mandy then goes up to Sig as he’s driving the vessel. “That’s it, probably,” Sig tells his daughter.
“Well, it’s really hard getting the news out here,” Mandy says. She continues to cry.
“I didn’t want to end the season on a note like this, but we’re not talking days anymore, we’re down to hours,” Sig adds. “I gotta let my brother know.” He then calls his brother, Norman.
Multiple ‘Deadliest Catch’ cast members have died
Fans are used to hearing about Deadliest Catch deaths, but it seems the death in season 19 doesn’t have to do with the dangers of fishing in the Bering Sea.
With that said, multiple cast members died in the past. Todd Kochutin died at 30 years old after a fatal injury aboard F/V Patricia Lee, Captain Phil Harris died of a stroke, Nick McGlashan died of an apparent drug overdose, Mahlon Reyes died of a heart attack at 38, and Blake Painter was found dead with illegal drugs nearby.
Hopefully, fans hear of fewer cast member deaths moving forward.
Deadliest Catch Season 19 airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Discovery Channel.
