'Waitress' Star Nick Cordero's Leg Amputated Due to Coronavirus Complications
Nick Cordero, the 41-year-old Broadway actor who has been sedated in the intensive care unit since April 1, is having his leg amputated amid complications that have resulted from his battle with COVID-19.Cordero's wife, Amanda Kloots, shared the somber news in an Instagram story Saturday afternoon (April 18)."We got some difficult news yesterday," she said in a video update on Cordero's coronavirus fight. "Basically, we had issues with his right leg with clotting and getting blood down to his toes.
And it just isn’t happening with surgery and everything. So, they had him on blood thinners for the clotting, and unfortunately the blood thinners were causing some other issues -- blood pressure and some internal bleeding in his intestines -- so.
