The Actor Was Rushed To The Hospital After A Nasty Home Accident

As January drew to an end, Aaron was rushed to the hospital in an emergency after he suffered a tumble in his home, due to his legs suddenly stopping functioning as he climbed the stairs.

At the initial stage of his hospital stay, The Blast shared that sources claimed he was on life support and had contracted a blood infection. Days later, Aaron was diagnosed with a spinal stroke, which means blood was not flowing to his spinal cord due to blood clots.

Since his admission, a lot of updates have emanated from the family, including reports that Aaron and his brother, Jarred, have gotten very close. He was also said to have been alert, awake, and interacting with his family members and approved visitors.

Quinton Aaron Severed Ties With His Spiritual Wife, Margarita

During his hospitalization, the actor's spiritual wife was instrumental in making medical decisions on his behalf, which caused tension within his family. As shared by The Blast, he revealed that his wife attempted to take his life and even lied to him about her real marital status.

Aaron noted that Margarita lied to him by not admitting she was married to someone else. Still, she defended herself, stating that he was very aware of the fact that her estranged husband had refused to sign their divorce papers.

The actor reportedly feels Margarita is satanic and has publicly made it clear to family, close friends, and the hospital staff that he has no intentions to see or talk to her.

Aaron's brother was very open about the danger Margarita posed to the actor and his family, especially while she made medical and life-saving decisions.

Margarita Disputed All The Claims From Her Husband's Camp

The actor's wife fired back at Aaron and his family's allegations, asserting that she loves the actor deeply enough to even think of hurting him in any form. She recalled encouraging the actor to adopt a healthy lifestyle before his hospitalization, noting that she had been trying to get him straight.

Aaron has recorded multiple health issues in the past, such as congestive heart failure, diabetes, and an incident that saw him cough up blood. Margarita added that she met him in the hospital, which meant his health history played a role in his current health challenge.

The actor has been public with his battle against his unhealthy weight, happily sharing last October that he shed over 200 pounds from a previous 500+ pounds in 2012, to 375 in 2025.

She stated that if anything gave a satanic feeling in Aaron's life, it was his side of the family, who had an issue with her former marriage. Jared was even granted a restraining order against Margarita after he got into a heated exchange with his brother's wife about her true intentions with him.

The 41-year-old continued in his October interview that his journey towards a healthier lifestyle was accelerated by his near-death experience at the waterfront in Mandeville, Louisiana.

He recalled that spot being his favorite location to meditate and listen to the water until one day he woke up and found himself underwater after he passed out and fell.

He managed to climb out of the water, thanks to the fact that it was only 3 feet deep, and headed for the hospital, where he was told an infection from his big toe had spread to his bones.

"I was in the hospital for a few weeks getting IV antibiotics," Quinton said. "I almost lost my toe, but thankfully I didn't. They just cut a piece of it off, and it had to heal," he added.

Wishing Quinton Aaron a complete recovery through this ordeal!
