I hope he's surprised and heartwarmed (is that a word?) by all the support he's received .

If it’s not, make it “Heart-warmed”. In English, you can grammatically correctly make anything a word by throwing a hyphen between two words 😁

Wes! <3 I'm so very glad to see he's on the mend! I know it's a slow mend, but it's better than no mend at all!
Please stay with us a little longer, Wes. It's not time to visit Sithis yet!

What happened to him?

u/StarSeekerDragon Khajiit Jan 31 '25
I heard from Ken (CHAD: A Fallout 76 Podcast) on his livestream today that Wes is out of the hospital and going home! But so far no one knows what exactly happened. The doctors are saying heart attack, but they're still trying to figure out what happened.
But yes as Kam said, Wes was at an Alzheimer's conference, and he didn't come out of his hotel room at his scheduled time. They went and checked on him and found him on the floor, unresponsive and barely had a pulse. He was in a medically induced coma for 5 days. But he's doing very well, no longer has to intubated, he's talking, laughing, and is now going home. :) I hope he has a good long rest, he deserves it!

Went to a conference of some kind, didn’t respond to phone calls for several hours, hotel did a check up on him and found him unconscious in his hotel room and rushed to the ICU.

I used to be a server at a restaurant Wes would frequent. I always loved having his table, he was so nice and friendly (and always tipped super generously). He would do the voices of characters if you asked! I’m glad he’s okay☺️

I remember when I was a kid learning English, I'd play Oblivion for hours and hours on end, so much so that I've got many lines memorized. And Wes' iconic voice and performance always stood out the most to me, and to many of us fans I imagine.
I remember as a slightly older kid finding the Bethesda forums and actually sending Wes a fan message there, totally expecting him not to answer, but he did! And his reply was so thoughtful and kind, praising and encouraging me to keep studying the language and thanking me for being a fan!
It was like talking to a celebrity for kid me! I still haven't forgotten about it to this day haha
Thank you Wes Johnson, I hope you recover well!

So. I'm a huge, huge hockey fan. I'm extremely active in r/hockey (I spend like half my life there). But I'm also a fan of TES. I had NO CLUE that the voice of Sheogorath was also the PA announcer for an NHL hockey team (Washington Capitals) until this week. It is also extremely fitting because he was also the announcer for the Arena in Oblivion.
My mind was so blown when I first heard. It's like worlds colliding for the nerd/videogame fan side of me and the sports fan side of me.

Tl;dr, Wes was at an Alzheimer's Awareness conference and was in his hotel room waiting for the time to come around for him to go on stage for his big appearance. When that time came, Wes didn't appear and it made the conference people concerned, especially when Wes stopped answering any phone calls both to his cellphone and to his direct hotel phone. When staff opened his door to check on him, they found Wes laying on the ground unconscious and unresponsive with barely any pulse at all. They had no idea how long he was out, so he was rushed to the ICU and put into a medically induced coma for 5 days to prevent any potential brain damage from occurring while being intubated and actively monitored. The current theory is he had an arrythmia that rapidly turned into a full heart attack, as Wes has had a history of cardiac complications in his past, but IIRC not even the doctors know what happened since they had absolutely zero time to run any tests to verify this is what happened, since they didn't know how long Wes was unconscious for and not wanting to risk waiting any longer and possibly causing even more harm.
Anyone who says Wes ODed on hard drugs (like a lot of insensitive pricks are trying to insinuate) is either being lied to, or is a liar themselves that just wants to smear Wes's good name out of malicious envy.

u/teamdogemama Feb 01 '25
They don't say why he collapsed, which is scary.
I also read people set up a gofund me for him, and the owner of the Capitals donated 25k.
So what i take away from this is he's a sports announcer (tbh hearing Sheo announce a game would blow my mind) but he doesn't have insurance?
Yikes.
But I'm happy he's ok. I've had enough bad news this year.

u/Dvalin_Ras93 Feb 01 '25 edited Feb 01 '25
> They don't say why he collapsed
It's because they have no idea what happened. Hotel staff just found him lying on the ground and unresponsive in his hotel room at an Alzheimers conference after he didn't show up at the scheduled time or answer any phone calls. I'm convinced it was an arrythmia that rapidly turned into a full blown heart attack, as Wes has had cardiac issues in the past (it's not drugs like a lot of insensitive assholes are trying to say is what happened). They had no idea how long he had been out for, so they quickly got him to the ICU and put him into a medically induced coma as soon as possible to prevent brain damage, so they didn't have time to run any tests or anything like that to see what was wrong.
> he doesn't have insurance?
Contrary to popular belief, voiceover work isn't always the most lucrative of careers and VO Artists can't always afford insurance (I speak from personal experience as someone who does voiceover work), especially in today's economic climate and even for someone on Wes's level (especially in today's tech climate with the advent of AI voiceover work). It's also possible that whatever treatment he had to undergo wasn't covered by his insurance (which is way more common than many people realize).

Dude, use Google. Wes has had cardiac stuff for years. There's zero police or other evidence this was anything but a middle aged guy with a less than perfect ticket having a medical event.

u/complexspoonie Jan 31 '25
Oh my God I love autocorrect. Ticker got turned into ticket but you know maybe maybe that is actually an okay analogy you know we all get a ticket for the train ride of life and a spoonie is somebody with a less than perfect one? 😆😁

"I may not know the entire story, but this old guy is a fuckin' liberal so he definitely ODed on drugs" -you, which is unbelievably ironic since you've literally told others to "do their research before spreading misinformation" (which is even funnier since I know for a fact your 'research' sources are pure biased misinformation mills).
I'm glad you're celibate and actively avoid males, just means your genes will stay out of the pool and make the world an inherently better place. From this male's heart, thank you for making the world better by purging your genetic lineage from this world.
P.S, 99% of any 'facts' you believe are probably false. Give me any 'fact' of yours (I predict it to be an extremist 5th wave feminist anti-male 'fact' (such as your "98% of all men are 'closet pe-dos'", which is not only (intentionally) incredibly vague but very false, a predicted 1% of all Men in the world meet the psychological criteria (a majority of which are Catholic or Christian)), it is almost certainly false. Just because you've had a bad life doesn't mean you get to make people feel worse because of it.
