David Cassidy (Partridge Family) in coma; multiple organ failure

KingstonsMom — Sat, 18 Nov 2017 19:59:57 GMT

David Cassidy is in a coma and is suffering from multiple organ failure, according to reports.

The 67-year-old Partridge Family star and singer was rushed to hospital in Florida three days ago.

A source told TMZ that his condition was 'grim'. He is believed to have been in failing health for the last two months.

Doctors believe he could die if he doesn't get an urgent kidney or liver transplant.

His family have been told to prepare for the worst. The gossip site says they have gathered at his bedside.

Cassidy is widely known for his starring role as Keith Partridge on the 1970s series The Partridge Family.

In February, the actor revealed he was battling dementia. His mother and his grandfather also had the condition.

This is so sad. I was such a fan of his when The Partridge Family was on. I never missed it and bought their albums.

Gosh, it's hard to believe he's 67. Where does the time go? He's awfully young to be struggling with dementia and organ failure.

What a shame. I think it’s very hard when a person has super huge success early on because life after is bound to disappoint... He could never recapture success after his teen years.

I always thought he had talent, good looks and charm- I Had a huge crush on him when I was little, who didn’t at that time??

I’ve been a huge David Cassidy fan since I was a teenager.My heart is breaking for him.Alcohol is a disease that ravaged his father & taken it’s toll on him.

Then for him to have inherited his moms dementia on top of it is so cruel!!

I hope he was able to mend the fences with his son, daughter, & siblings.

What a talent!!

I had no idea he was in such poor health. My heart goes out to him and his loved ones.

His failing health also has to do with his alcoholism for many many years....even if he was not drinking recently( his words) his past bad behaviors for years I am sure added to his organ failure.

I heard this on the car radio today. I had such a crush... and on his father, too!

Sadly, I think Manson will outlive him.

Jack Cassidy did die in a house fire. From what I read, his own cigarette was the culprit.

I was a huge Shaun Cassidy fan when I was a kid, but I always loved David too and watching him on Partridge Family reruns. It doesn't even seem like he should be 67- like I expect him to look like he did on TV way back then.

This may not be a popular view, but I think that he is ready to go.

I think that he is tired of having lived such a hard life, and his body is just worn out.

I also think that G-d knows this and will welcome him Home.

May his soul be at peace.
