Gallagher suffered yet another heart attack this past week.

The comedian best known for smashing watermelons reportedly ran out of heart medication and was rushed to a hospital in Arizona.

His rep told TMZ that Leo Gallagher suffered a mild heart attack in Sedona due to complications from his previous heart attack but that he is awake and resting now.

This marks his third heart attack, he suffered a minor heart attack during a performance in Minnesota last March and another just weeks ago.

The heart attack comes four days after being released from the hospital following a more serious heart attack.

Last week, the comedian reportedly was about to take the stage at Hat Tricks club Wednesday in Lewisville but collapsed 20 minutes before the show was slated to start at 9 p.m.

According to AP, CPR was performed on him before paramedics arrived and the comedian was rushed to a local hospital.

Gallagher spend time in the hospital before waking up from a medically induced coma last Sunday. According to the report, doctors slowly woke him up Sunday morning. Shortly after, the 65-year-old, according to E! News, began moving and breathing on his own.
