Devon Davis gets seriously injured at the Patricia Lee
Things didn’t go as the boys from Deadliest Catch had hoped while they were on their “redemption trip.” Devon, who is a recent recruit of Captain Carlton, was badly injured.
As reported by Yahoo! Entertainment, “Davis was last recorded pulling on a chain and then can be seen collapsing on the deck.”
As they tried to revive him, it could be heard via the radio that the fisherman had been struck in the head, hence why he had blood coming out of his mouth.
It was a scare that had the crew extremely worried for Devon since the team suffered the death of one of its members last year in the same boat.
