Emily Willis wakes up from coma after 52 days

Posted on Sun, 31 March 2024

Currently 25 years old, Emily is gradually regaining consciousness. Hospitalized in a medical facility in California, she is now able to track objects with her gaze and has shown emotional responses while interacting with her relatives.

Emily was undergoing treatment for substance dependence. She had been admitted to a rehabilitation clinic in Malibu for eight days before experiencing the cardiac arrest. The initial suspicion of overdose was ruled out after toxicological tests revealed no presence of illicit substances in her system.

Despite the positive news, healthcare professionals caring for Emily are not optimistic about a full recovery for the actress.

According to the "TMZ" website, doctors are still investigating the possible causes of Willis's cardiac issues.

Willis's family has started an online fundraiser on the GoFundMe platform to cover the treatment costs. The campaign has already reached its initial goal of $60,000 (approximately R$300,000), thanks to the generosity of contributors.
