Ray Meagher was moments away from heart failure

I'm Lucky To Be Alive!

Australian acting legend Ray Meagher, who plays the irascible Alf Stewart in Home And Away, has sent shockwaves through the tight-knit cast after undergoing emergency open heart surgery earlier this month.

The much-loved star was due to take a holiday with his wife Gilly when a routine health check revealed he could have been just hours from a potentially fatal heart attack. His cardiologist spotted three serious blockages in his arteries that required immediate intervention. Ray, 75, was given a triple bypass the next day.

“We were all packed up and ready to drive north [to the Sunshine Coast] but if we had gone without seeing the cardiologist, well, you could have had a heart attack behind the wheel,” says the actor. “You kill yourself, you kill your wife, or some other poor innocent people. It’s horrific to think what could have happened.”
