Tony-nominated actor Nick Cordero had his right leg amputated due to complications with coronavirus. His wife Amanda Kloots, who has been keeping the world updated via social media, said that she had received some “difficult news” on Saturday. She explained that blood thinners being used to help with clotting in Nick’s leg caused issues with his blood pressure and internal bleeding in his intestines and, therefore, he had to get his leg amputated. “He made it through the surgery,” she said later, “which is really big.
