Did James Van Der Beek Really Die Broke?

3. Over a million $$$. My own father died in 1987 and had bills that expensive...Yes. Even then.

He had spent 3 months in ICU and coded 3x before he expired, despite having had "successful surgery". I had worked at this hospital ER in the past during training and my sister was currently employed as a nurse there, so I was able to deal with it and work through most of the insurance and get it paid with them decreasing the expenses dramatically. Most "laypeople" (even if they did not have a medical "in" with the facility would have a very hard time sans attorney or other similar person with expertise cannot accomplish this).

So, yeah. They have probably burned through their finances with more due for hospital bills.
