Wishing Andre Gower a Speedy Recovery; THE MONSTER SQUAD Star Suffered a Major Heart Attack
Over the weekend, The Monster Squad star Andre Gower suffered a massive heart attack during a game of tennis. All of us here at Dread Central wish him a speedy recovery.
Directed by Fred Dekker from a screenplay he co-scribed with Shane Black, The Monster Squad was released in 1987 and has since become a major cult classic. Gower played Sean, the kid with the now-iconic “Stephen King Rules” shirt.
Synopsis:
Five youngsters find themselves up against the combined might of Dracula, the Mummy, the Gill Man, and Frankenstein’s Monster who arrive in town in search of a magic amulet.
Family and friends of Gower have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the actor’s medical expenses. His condition is described in significant detail and serves as something of a warning.
Andre Gower is a healthy and extremely active 48 years young.
He eats right. He takes his supplements. He just finished an Instagram campaign in June 2021 called #activewithandre where, for 30 days, he encouraged folks of all abilities all over the globe to do just one thing within their comfort zones to take care of themselves, and share their experiences as part of a self-care initiative.
Basically, he does what he’s supposed to – what we’re all told to do – to live a long, healthy life.
But during an ordinary round of tennis with a friend on Saturday, July 3, Andre suffered a massive heart attack caused by a blood clot, landing multiple days in intensive care. He was saved with mere minutes to spare.
According to his friend Mike, he initially felt slightly dizzy and nauseated. He laid down on the ground, thinking he was merely dehydrated, or that his blood sugar was low. Low blood sugar had happened before.
There was no chest pain.
No grabbing of the arm.
No elephant on the chest.
No dramatic collapse.
