Thomas Markle was hospitalized after an illness and underwent urgent surgery which caused him to lose a part of his leg.

The injury occurred due to a blood clot, obstructing the circulation and causing damage to his lower leg.

Reports suggest that he had an immediate three-hour surgery on Wednesday, and his son, Thomas Jr, confirmed the update.

According to Daily Mail, Thomas Jr opened up about his father's surgery, sharing, "My dad is being very brave. His foot turned blue and then black. It happened very quickly."

"I took him to a local hospital and they did some scans and an ultrasound and said the leg had to be amputated," he further revealed.

"There was no option. I was told the leg had to be removed and it was a case of life or death," he continued.

He said, "His left leg has been removed below the knee. They were worried about infection setting in, sepsis or gangrene. The flesh was black and dying."
