10 Famous People Who Survived a Coma

5. Martin Lawrence

The things actors do for their careers. Lawrence nearly died after suffering from heat stroke in 1999. The comedian was wearing several layers of clothing while jogging in the heat in an attempt to lose weight for a movie role. After returning home, Lawrence realized his temperature had sky-rocketed to 107 and he was rushed to the hospital where he slipped into a coma for three days. Extreme overheating can cause permanent kidney, brain and cardiac damage, but luckily Lawrence recovered from the incident.
