What Happened To Cris Collinsworth Brother Greg Collinsworth?
Cris Collinsworth sent Greg to Cincinnati for top-notch treatment after he was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2003.
Regrettably, the drug was unable to prevent the cancer from spreading to more than half of Greg’s liver, effectively ending his fight. Greg, on the other hand, was unconcerned about becoming a burden to his parents and older brother.
