Fortunately, at the time of the attack, two doctors resuscitated Harper in the gym and saved his life with an automatic external defibrillator. Two days later, Harper woke up from a coma, lost short-term memory and had to ask friends and family what had happened.-He said to Cohen, "Strictly speaking, I am dead." & The doctor wrote on a piece of paper: Cause of death: sudden cardiac arrest.
In the months after the accident, Harper took the opportunity to change some of his eating habits. Last month, he revealed in social media that he was eating more Mediterranean food at the doctor's advice. In addition, the trainer had aerobic exercise rehabilitation three days a week.

Harper hopes that his experience will encourage others to pay attention to the red flag and take preventive measures. & In an interview today, he told Savannah Guthrie, "I strongly encourage those who are listening to see a doctor, check your cholesterol and see what's going on inside, so that it won't happen to you."
