Yellowstone Spinoff Star Survives Near-Death Experience

Danielle Vasinova, who’s been in Yellowstone spinoffs 1923 and The Madison, recently shared a scary story about a time she almost died. In December 2019, right before the COVID-19 lockdowns, Vasinova had a terrifying health crisis. She actually “died for three minutes” while dealing with what she initially thought was just a common illness.

I Thought It Was Just the Flu

Like many people, Danielle thought she just had a bug. “I thought I was coming down with the flu,” she told People in an interview. Thinking it was no big deal, she went to urgent care in downtown L.A. “They decided it was strep and sent me home with some antibiotics,” she said. It seemed like a normal situation.

But things quickly got much worse. “By the next day, I could barely walk. My legs wouldn’t move. It was bizarre,” she remembered. Suddenly, it wasn’t just a minor illness anymore.

The Night Everything Changed

That evening, Danielle’s condition got much worse, and her uncle took action. He rushed her to the emergency room just in time. “I felt like I was going to die,” she said. And she was right to be worried.

At the hospital, it was a chaotic scene. Doctors and nurses were working hard to save her as her condition became critical. “He said people were running around me, and a tiny girl jumped on top of my chest and began pumping, pumping, pumping,” Danielle recounted, describing the efforts to revive her.
