It's true. It's all true.
"Weekend Edition - Saturday, April 2, 2005 · The comic from St. Paul, Minn., used a stoner persona to deliver subtle, wry observational comedy. He made frequent appearances on late-night TV shows. He was shy and battled stage fright, and was once arrested for heroin possession. His death at 37 was reportedly due to heart failure."
He's dead. My favorite comic, hands-down, died of heart failure just the other day. He will be sorely missed by millions I'm sure but we'll never forget that "if fish could scream the ocean would be loud and shit" or that "[his] mailman was a drug dealer and he didn't even know it." Rest in peace you beautiful bastard.
