Frank Fritz Health Update: What Happened to Him after The Stroke?

Some time later, Bill Fritz, Frank’s father, mentioned in an interview with the U.S. Sun that his son is in stable condition. There has since not been much of a health update on the American Dad! star from friends or family.

However, reports have shown that the stroke Fritz suffered has seriously impacted his decision making. According to court papers, he is unable to take care of his own health or provide basic necessities to himself, such as clothing, shelter, food, or medical care. This can further worsen Fritz’s condition or cause further physical injury. Court papers have further added that the former American Pickers star is also unable to make or communicate any important decisions with regard to financial affairs.

Since Frank is in a nursing facility for rehabilitation with impaired decision-making, one of his longtime friends will be acting as his temporary guardian. A local bank will also oversee all living expenses and financial decisions, including property taxes, general living expenses, health insurance, and more. This decision was taken so that no one can take advantage of Frank’s current state, considering that he has a very high net worth.

According to the Frank Fritz health update from TMZ, he is also reportedly battling Crohn’s disease and has undergone back surgery. Fans continue to send their prayers and wishes to Fritz, hoping for his speedy recovery.

Meanwhile, former American Pickers co-star Mike Wolfe publicly addressed their feud on the show in a social media post. He stated that, considering this Frank Fritz health update, now is not the time to talk about their relationship but rather to pray for Fritz’s health and recovery.

"There have been lots of opinions in regards to mine and Frank’s friendship and the show but now is not the time to set the record straight. Now is the time to pray for my friend."
