John Ritter’s wife Amy Yasbeck is keeping the legacy of her late husband alive. Twenty years later after the beloved actor’s untimely death, Yasbeck is continuing to spread awareness of the fatal disease that took Ritter’s life. The '8 Simple Rules' actor died after he suffered from aortic dissection and was misdiagnosed.
John was working on a sitcom and during the workday he had chest pain, pain in his back… ripping chest pain and nausea,' Yasbeck told Fox News Digital. Afterward, she recalled the producer taking Ritter to the emergency room. But when he arrived, Yasbeck explained that the doctors treated the chest pain as a heart attack. She said Ritter was instead suffering and dying from thoracic aortic dissection.
The predisposition for aortic dissection often runs in families. Although much cutting-edge research has been devoted to identifying the genetic factors responsible for this silent killer, many people at risk are unaware that they and their families are in danger. Following his death, Ritter’s wife and fellow actor Yasbeck established The John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health with a focus and urgent purpose to prevent unnecessary suffering caused by aortic dissection.
Yasbeck continued to tell Fox News Digital that people can help by visiting JohnRitterFoundation.org. 'If you've been diagnosed, or you need to talk to somebody who's been in the same situation, we have the aorta advocates and then ‘Ritter Rules,’ which is a set of rules for understanding what your risk is.' Ritter’s '8 Simple Rules' co-star Kaley Cuoco is also a big supporter of his foundation.
If you get all four kids together, you can kind of recreate John, so that's always good. And I have six grandkids, so that helps as well.' Ritter shared sons Jason and Tyler, along with daughter Carly, with his first wife Nancy Morgan. The two were married from 1977 to 1996. He additionally has a son, Noah, with Yasbeck. The two tied the knot in 1999 and were married until his death.
