RENO, Nev., Nov. 11 (UPI) — As the World Turns and One Life to Live alum Nathaniel Marston will likely be a quadriplegic for the rest of his life, his publicist confirmed Wednesday.
The 40-year-old actor remains hospitalized in critical condition, with his loved ones by his side, following an Oct. 30 car crash near Reno. He reportedly fell asleep behind the wheel and suffered a broken neck and shoulder, collapsed lung and fractured neck vertebrae in the subsequent collision.
Marston’s mother said earlier this month he was not expected to fully recover from his extensive injuries.
“Marston underwent surgery Nov. 4, and doctors were initially positive about the outcome. However, in the early morning hours of Nov. 5 his heart stopped on two separate occasions, requiring doctors to use an external pacemaker to regulate his heartbeat,” his representative said in a statement to FOX411.
“He remains in critical condition, fighting pneumonia, a heart infection and irregular pulse.”
Marston’s screen credits include Blue Bloods, White Collar and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
