Meghan Markle’s estranged father Thomas Markle is said to be “fighting for his life” after having emergency surgery. The 81-year-old is currently in intensive care in a hospital in the Philppines, his son has said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His son Thomas Jr. said: \u201cI took dad to a hospital close to our home and they did various scans and the doctors said his life was in imminent danger. They raced us by ambulance, with the sirens going, to a much bigger hospital in the center of the city. My dad has undergone emergency surgery.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would ask everyone around the world to keep him in their thoughts.\u201d He added: \u201cMy only wish is that Meghan shows my father some compassion. He is literally fighting for his life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
His son added that he underwent three hours of surgery on Thursday and now faces a second procedure to remove a blood clot.<\/p>\n
Thomas’s daughter Samantha, 61, told the Daily Mail: “He is a strong man, but he has been through so much. I am praying that he is strong enough to survive this.<\/p>\n
“My father has been through two heart attacks, a stroke and an earthquake. I hope he can pull through this.”<\/p>\n
