My favorite comedian passed away yesterday morning, and I think most people in here probably have a soft spot for him.
Confirmed by
http://www.comedycentral.com,
http://www.howardstern.com, and
http://www.joshsneed.com, and also Yahoo News (Search Hedberg).
Apparently it was an overdose... but there is no official report yet.
