Nick McGlashan, Cast Of ‘Deadliest Catch’ Dies At Age 33

The Davidson County Medical Examiner confirmed on Monday that Nick McGlashan, who starred in the hit reality series “Deadliest Catch,” has died in Nashville. He was 33 years old.

No cause of death or additional details has been given and his death is reportedly being investigated.

“Our deepest sympathy goes out to Nick’s loved ones during this difficult time,” the statement read.

“Nick came from a long line of crabbers and was known for his great depth of knowledge. He also had a sharp sense of humor even in the most difficult conditions. He will be deeply missed by all those who knew him.”

The show chronicles the lives in the Bering Sea of crews serving on fishing boats.

McGlashan, born in Alaska to a veteran commercial fisherman, started working on a boat when he was 13.

He was a 7th generation fisherman who was raised not far from Dutch Harbor on the nearby island of Akutan, Alaska, according to his biography on the Discovery Go site.

“He was named after his great uncle Nick McGlashan, who worked on the first boat rumored to have pioneered the US crab industry, the F/V Deep Sea, built-in 1947,” the bio reads.

“Two of Nick’s aunts were also crabbers; one was lost at sea when the boat sank in 1986.”

McGlashan served on “Deadliest Catch” as a deck supervisor and has starred in the series since 2013. Cameras caught his battle against drug abuse and in a Chosen Magazine article titled “The Deadliest Disease” he opened up about it in May.

McGlashan revealed that he had abused alcohol, heroin, and methamphetamine, overdosed three times, and became sober until he went into treatment in September 2016.

“My life went from Bering Sea badass to full-blown junkie very rapidly. Hidden from me was that passion I had for life,” he wrote “Taken from me was my ability to live. I was at war with my addiction and it was winning.”

During Season 13, McGlashan was thrown off the boat for Season 13 to cope with his addiction.

“Though he’s had his ups and downs, Nick has battled endlessly to stay sober and embrace a new sober lifestyle and is now so committed to his recovery that he inspires others in their own,” according to his Discovery Go bio.

McGlashan is one of the cast members who died, including Mahlon Reyes, a deckhand who reportedly died in August after suffering a heart attack at the age of 38.
