The Tragedy Of Deadliest Catch Only Gets Sadder

And yet, somehow, the "Deadliest Catch" tragedy managed to continue to get even sadder still. Nick McGlashan died just months after Mahlon Reyes' fatal heart attack. As per TMZ, cops were called to a Holiday Inn on the outskirts of Nashville, Tennessee, after McGlashan's friend found him "unresponsive in his room." A source said officers found items that "indicated the possibility of drug involvement."

McGlashan had struggled with alcohol and drug addiction throughout his entire life. However, he entered rehab after being fired from "Deadliest Catch" during Season 13. "Though he's had his ups and downs, Nick has battled endlessly to stay sober and embrace a new sober lifestyle and is now so committed to his recovery that he inspires others in their own," his show bio reads.

McGlashan opened up about his history of being a "junkie," and how tough life at sea can be in a brutally honest and heart-wrenching article he wrote for Chosen Magazine. "...I was drinking half a gallon of vodka, shooting two grams of heroin, and one gram of meth every day," he admitted. "My mind, body, and spirit were so diseased, I welcomed my own death, I was ready to die." Tragically, the deck boss eventually did pass away — on December 28, 2020. The autopsy report (via The Sun) ruled McGlashan "died as a result of the toxic effects of methamphetamine, cocaine, and fentanyl." He was just 33 years old.
