Comedian Patrice O'Neal Passes Away at 41
Comedian, radio personality, Charlie Sheen roaster, and sometimes actor Patrice O'Neal passed away following a stroke last month and his long term struggle with diabetes. "Many of us have lost a close and loved friend; all of us have lost a true comic genius," wrote agent Matt Frost in a statement. O'Neal was best known for his stand up, television, and radio appearances, including stints on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn and the Opie and Anthony show. He also appeared in a handful of films including Head of State and Furry Vengeance; watch him in a scene from Spike Lee's The 25th Hour after the jump.
