Celebrities gist: Popular magician dies from Coronavirus
According to Metro UK, the 75-year-old
legendary Las Vegas magician by name Roy Horn died at Mountain View Hospital
from coronavirus complications.
Siegfried Fischbacher issued a
statement reading: Today, the world has lost one of the greats of magic, but I
have lost my best friend. From the moment we met, I knew Roy and I, together,
would change the world. There could be no Siegfried without Roy, and no Roy
without Siegfried.
Roy was a fighter his whole life,
including during these final days. I give my heartfelt appreciation to the team
of doctors, nurses and staff at Mountain View Hospital who worked heroically
against this insidious virus that ultimately took Roy’s life.
Horn was screened positive for
coronavirus on 28 April but
was ‘responding well to treatment’.
Horn and Fischbacher started their
very famous Las Vegas series at the Mirage in 1990, where they performed
intricate tricks alongside animals, including their beloved tigers.
However, in October 2003, the tragedy
struck when the 600 lb Bengal tiger Mantecore assaulted and grinded Horn during
a live performance.
The attack severed his spine, caused
considerable blood loss, leaving Horn partially paralyzed.
