According to MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN co-star GeekTyrant, Jeremy Renner “actually died in a snowplow accident.”

It’s been just over 16 months since the Marvel actor’s death Jeremy RennerIn his near-death accident, he was run over by a snowplow while saving his nephew from harm.

His injuries included eight broken ribs in 14 places, broken right knee and right ankle, broken tibia of left leg, broken left ankle, broken right clavicle, broken right shoulder, and broken eye socket, jaw and lower jaw. His lung had collapsed and a rib bone punctured his liver.

It was a horrific accident and he’s lucky to be alive, not to mention able to work and be successful again.

In a recent interview with Renner’s Mayor of Kingstown Co-star Michael BeachHe revealed that the MCU vet “actually died” after the incident.

“Jeremy (Renner) is a warhorse, man. I mean, this guy broke 38 bones. He actually died, which I didn’t know until he told me, and he came back. And he says he wasn’t sure what it would be like. And he feels stronger and stronger every week. He is with us. He’s a great guy, man. And he’s really badass.

Given his serious injuries, it makes sense that he suffered at least one breakdown. It was a truly miraculous recovery. It will be even cooler to see his character Hawkeye return to the MCU one day knowing how far he has come.
