The National ENQUIRER has learned from panicked pals that they believe the 74-year-old "Saturday Night Live" legend has already destroyed his liver and pancreas and is facing the end.
Ironically, his friends were “initially thrilled” when the 6-foot-4 star, who’d ballooned to a whale-sized 302 pounds, shed the flab, trimming to 251. “They felt it was good for him and especially good for his heart!” notes a source close to the star.

Noted New York internist Dr. Stuart Fischer says despite the weight loss, the prickly comic “still looks extremely unhealthy and “appears to have aged about 30 or 40 years in the last five!”

“He’s undoubtedly suffering liver issues, which can be fatal,” says the author of “The Park Avenue Diet,” who has not treated Chevy, shown here hefty in November 2015. Dr. Fischer says yo-yo dieting can trigger diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, as well as liver problems.

Chevy also “is at risk for a stroke and severe kidney disease and at risk for a heart attack every minute of his life,” adds Dr. Fischer. His massive sudden weight loss has left Chevy looking worryingly thin, and he seems wobbly on his feet, says the source.

And while he reportedly beat his booze demons in rehab, “those around him suspect he’s still drinking,” the source adds. “They worry he’s going to need a liver transplant soon if he carries on the way he is.”

After abusing his body with drugs in the high-flying ’70s, Chevy ballooned to over 300 pounds. “Everybody was worried he’d have a heart attack,” says another source. “Now they’re worried because he’s become so frail.”

In the spring Chase, who’s also battled heart issues, looked grossly overweight and was sweating through his shirt! Then he shed 50 pounds within a matter of months! Medical authorities say rapid and unexplained weight loss is sometimes associated with pancreatic cancer.
