Fan-favourite weatherman was ‘near death’ as frantic viewers rush to support him

A fan-favourite weather presenter was left “near death” after a horrifying blood clot travelled around his body.

Al Roker, weatherman on NBC’s Today, suffered a serious health scare and reminisced over his terrifying experience while celebrating his 69th birthday.

In a video posted to Instagram, the star told fans: “This is my 69th anniversary of orbiting the sun, and after everything I went through at the end of last year, I am more than grateful to be celebrating this birthday.”
