Colt Ford Died Reveals – Country Singer Colt Ford ‘Fell Over Dead’ After Having A Heart Attack

Colt Ford revealed in an interview that he died two times when he had a heart attack last month. 

The country rap musician, 54-year-old, recalled having no recollection of his performance at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row venue in Gilbert, Arizona, after having a heart attack once he got off the stage.

He said that he died two times when one of the hosts on Big D &  Bubba’s radio show asked if he had been clinically dead. 

He ended up at an Intensive Care Unit at the Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona, according to a press release the day after the incident on April 4.

And amid his recovery, he admitted that he is still not 100 percent out of the woods. 

“I didn’t even remember coming out here to do a show in Phoenix, and apparently we played this great, sold-out show and it was incredible, ” he said during the phone interview. 

‘I walked back to the bus, texted my finance, “Hi baby”, and fell over dead’.

He explained that because his bandmates decided to check on him and found him, they saved his life. ‘They’re like, “It’s really hot in there”. I’m getting to kind of be an old guy now and they came out and checked on me and then all of a sudden, they were like “Oh God”. That’s when all hell broke loose’.

Ford explained that the band and Bentley transported him to a hospital, where medical professionals determined he needed Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).

According to the Mayo Clinic, ECMO is when blood is pumped outside of the body and oxygenated in order to help vital organs like the heart rest while recovering from serious illness and injury. 

However, Ford explained that the first hospital did not have the facilities to perform the procedure, so they had to get him to ‘another hospital asap’.

‘Bentley’s trauma tea got me’,he continued. Died on the way over and they brought me back and saved my life.
