Phil and his boat/crew was 50% of the show IMO. He lived fast and hard and didn't take care of himself. Staying up 24-36 straight hours on end for the big money takes a toll on you especially being older, a smoker and out of shape. When he was coughing up blood was a sure, serious sign to slow down or stop....but he likely believed he couldn't let down his crew.

He will be missed in the upcoming seasons and the show frankly will NEVER be the same.
