Bam Margera hospitalized with pneumonia and COVID, placed on ventilator

“Jackass” star Bam Margera was hospitalized and placed on a ventilator as he battles a severe case of pneumonia, complicated by COVID-19, according to a report.

The 43-year-old former skateboarder was admitted to a hospital in San Diego this week and tested positive for coronavirus shortly after arriving, sources told TMZ on Friday. He is being treated in the ICU but his condition is currently stable.

The hospitalization comes during a challenging year for Margera, who has had several rehab stints following his completion of a yearlong drug and alcohol treatment program. He has since been spotted partying in Atlanta and Las Vegas.
