"I’m facing up to dying. I got to," the 72-year-old said to co-stars Buck and Huckleberry. "That’s what’s happening to me. I’m dying." Four years ago, the reality star suffered a blood clot in his leg, which forced him to depart the show. Though his health is deteriorating, Trapper has a different outlook on life. “I’m one of those people that never worried about dying too much," he confessed.
He continued: "It’s one of those things in life that you gotta face up to… Going through this has taught me you’re only here so long." Our thoughts are with Trapper and his family as he battles these health issues.
Catch new episodes of Mountain Monsters on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on the Travel Channel.
