A viral GoFundMe had claimed he was fighting for his life and suffering a severe blood infection and being on life support; those claims prompted the family's update. The family thanked fans for overwhelming love, support and prayers, and asked the public to trust only official family communications and their appointed spokesperson, Liana Mendoza. Spinal strokes occur when something, often blood clots, stops blood flow in the spinal cord. Symptoms can include numbness or tingling in the arms and legs, muscle weakness, and intense neck or back pain.
