Is Damar Hamlin Alive?

Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills is alive but remains in critical condition after suffering a cardiac arrest midway through the game on Monday, January 2 2023, night, according to his team.

Dorrian Glenn, Hamlin’s uncle, told CNN that his nephew is still sedated after being resuscitated twice, but that he appears to be “trending upwards in a positive way.”

“His heart had gone out so they had to resuscitate him twice. They resuscitated him on the field before they brought him to the hospital and then they resuscitated him a second time when they got him to the hospital,” he told CNN’s Adrienne Broaddus outside of the hospital.

Glenn thanked the medical staff, saying, “If not for them my nephew probably wouldn’t be here.”

Glenn said that Hamlin did sustain some damage to his lungs and he’s on a ventilator to help with his breathing and to take some of the strain off of his lungs.

He added that his nephew is “flipped over on his stomach” in the hospital to help with the blood in his lungs.
