New Delhi: Actor Tom Sizemore has not been showing any signs of recovery. The 61-year-old has been in a coma ever since he was hospitalised on February 18, 2023. Tom is suffering from brain aneurysm. As per reports, his family is making an end-of-life decision for the actor.
On Monday night, Sizemore's representative issued a statement that said there are now signs of recovery.
“Today doctors informed his family that there is no further hope and have recommended an end of life decision. The family is now deciding end of life matters and a further statement will be issued on Wednesday,” Lago said.
“We are asking for privacy for his family during this difficult time, and they wish to thank everyone for the hundreds of messages of support and prayers that have been received,” he added. “This has been a difficult time for them.”
61-year-old Sizemore came into his own as a Hollywood actor in the 1990s, building a career out through a variety of tough guy roles in action and drama films. He is likely best known for his performance as Technical Sergeant Mike Horvath in Steven Spielberg's 1998 war film 'Saving Private Ryan', which was nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards.

In 2005, Sizemore was sentenced to several months in jail after being caught attempting to fake a urine test. In 2007, he was arrested for possession of methamphetamine. Sizemore has been public about his struggles with substance abuse, appearing on 'Celebrity Rehab with Dr Drew' and 'Dr Phil' to discuss his legal troubles.
