The 22-year-old’s mother said that Riggs suffered a “bad concussion” despite wearing a helmet when he was thrown from the horse in November 2019.

“[I’m] trying to get my mind back on track,” Riggs, who played Cal Grimes on the show, told fans on social media.

“It’s so weird hearing about what I was saying and doing after [the accident] happened,” he wrote.

“For hours, I had no idea what year it was, how I got there, what happened, etc and I kept asking the same questions over and over again just to immediately forget the answer.”

Walking Dead fans also reportedly targeted actor Josh McDermott online over decisions made by his character, Euegene Porter, in the series.

In 2017, he deleted his social media accounts after being hit with a wave of death threats for the fictional storyline.

McDermott posted a final Facebook live calling out the cyberbullies for the threatening messages, TV Guide reported.

“Oh, death threats? Don’t send me death threats because I’m going to send all that s**t to the cops. I’m just sick of it,” he said.

“You can hate Eugene,” the actor continued. “I don’t care. I’ll argue that you’re wrong, but you can think whatever you want.”

“But when you start saying you hope I die? I don’t know if you’re talking about Josh or Eugene.”

Plus, back in 2015, Seth Gilliam, who played Rev Gabriel Stokes on the show, was charged with driving under the influence.

The 53-year-old was arrested after reportedly driving 107 mph in a 55-mph zone, according to Variety.

“I chopped the end of my finger off on stage,” Lincoln said.

“It was horrific. All the ladies had their hands over their mouths like they were going to be sick,” he said of the incident.

Walking Dead tragedies, part two

Other tragedies have hit other members of the Walking Dead cast as well.

For example, Norman Reedus, 53, is known for his signature sunglasses, but he once revealed that he started wearing them after his eyeball popped out in a horrific car crash in February 2005.

He had been traveling in Germany to accept the rising star award at the Berlin Film Festival and was heading to a REM concert in a car lent to him by the band’s lead singer Michael Stipe when he was hit by an 18-wheeler truck and went flying through the windshield.

He ultimately needed surgery to repair his eye socket.

After four months of recovery, Reedus made it back on his feet.

“I just wear them a lot, I have really sensitive eyes, with a bright light I would just start tearing up I always have,” he said of the sunglasses he wears.
