Gary added that Van underwent gastric bypass surgery in 2021, which left him in a state of shock and left him unable to walk for a while. Gary went on to say,
“During his treatment, he took Covid, which resulted in a blood clot in his lungs. He could barely walk after recovering from Covid, and his lungs were severely damaged. He’s been in a hospital bed at home for months and doesn’t seem to be making much progress in his recovery.”
He said that Van Conner initially refused to seek medical attention, but he was optimistic that things could change while he was in the hospital. Gary asked everyone to express their best wishes and prayers to Conner.
