Starr suffered a lung infection in September. That reversed the progress he was making in his recovery from the heart attack and stroke he suffered the previous November. That progress had only come about because of an experimental stem cell treatment Starr received in June.
Since the setback, Starr has been undergoing rehab and looking toward a second stem cell treatment, but based on what his family says, he still isn’t anywhere near 100 percent and probably never will be. Starr seems to have lost most of the memories from his playing days.
