Broadway star Nick Cordero has had his right leg amputated due to complications from coronavirus , according to an Instagram post from his wife Amanda Kloots. As of Saturday, the Tony-nominated performer had been sedated in the ICU for 250 days.
“We got some difficult news yesterday,” Kloots said on her Instagram Stories on Saturday. “Basically, we’ve had issues in his right leg, with clotting and getting blood down to his toes. And it just isn’t happening with surgery and everything.” She explained the star was on blood thinners for the clotting, but as it caused “other issues,” he was taken off the medicine.
“So, we took him off the blood thinners, but that, again, was going to cause some clotting in the right leg,” Kloots said. “So, the right leg will be amputated today.”
Kloots, a former Broadway dancer, now celebrity trainer, provided another update on Instagram Saturday night. “He made it through the surgery, which is really big because obviously his body is pretty weak,” she said. “Good news.”
