Jake "The Snake" Roberts was hospitalized a few days ago. After reportedly refusing to treat an infection Roberts was attacked by a round of double pneumonia. The legendary wrestler may get better, or he may be near death after a lifetime of drug and alcohol abuse. The cruel and bitter irony is he was trying to turn his life around, getting clean and devoting himself to DDP Yoga (not as silly as it sounds). But his immune system is probably weakened from the years of hard living.
Reportedly Roberts was on his way to Las Vegas when he took ill. Upon landing, The Snake was admitted to hospital and treated for double pneumonia (via TMZ):
"Wrestler Sinn Bodhi -- who has been at Jake's bedside all night -- tells us Roberts went to a doctor 2 weeks ago, and was told he had the flu and needed rest."
His good friend Diamond Dallas Page, who helped him get back on track, thanks friends and fans for their well wishes, as Roberts' condition is apparently fluctuating (via New York Daily News):
"Page tweeted on Thursday that he had spoken to Roberts' girlfriend who told him that the Roberts was 'now conscious but still fading in and out.
"'Please keep the prayers coming.'"
