A Discovery Channel star has passed on. Phil Harris, the crusty fishing boat captain whose Alaska coast adventures were captured on Deadliest Catch, died Tuesday night. He was 53. Harris, who started working on fishing boats at the age of 7, suffered a massive stroke Jan. 29 and underwent emergency surgery in Anchorage earlier this week; as recently as last weekend Harris was said to be talking to friends and family and showing gradual signs of recovery. He is survived by his sons Jake and Josh, who worked on their father's boat as deck hands. [AP]
