William 'Refrigerator' Perry is reportedly in dire health and financial shape

In a new story, some scary details are shed on Perry's lifestyle
.
.
.
Based on Telander's portrait, Perry, 53, is reportedly an alcoholic who still consumes large quantities of alcohol, he's at least 150 pounds overweight, he can barely hear but refuses to rely on hearing aids, he can't feel anything from the shin down, his hands are numb, he deals with diabetes and side effects from Guillain-Barré syndrome ("which creates neurological problems that can leave victims paralyzed and sometimes on life support," Telander writes), his earnings from his NFL playing days simply don't exist anymore, and he lives by himself in a retirement facility.

His younger brother, Michael Dean, says he believes that Perry has "traces of CTE," a brain disease that the NFL recently admitted is tied to football. Perry's older brother, Willie, accused Dean, who is Perry's guardian, of not doing enough to help Perry, but Dean refuted that accusation.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda ties a headband onto Chicago Bears quarterback Jim McMahon March 4, 1987 at Dodgertown in Vero Beach, Florida. McMahon visited Dodgertown for a checkup with Dr. Frank Jobe, who performed the surgery on his shoulder. Lasorda managed the Dodgers from 1976-1996
