(AP) — Richard Jeni, a standup comedian who played to sold-out crowds, was a regular on the Tonight Show and appeared in movies, died of a gunshot wound in an apparent suicide, police said Sunday. Police found the 45-year-old comedian alive but gravely injured in a West Hollywood home when they responded to a call Saturday morning from Jeni's girlfriend, Los Angeles Police Officer Norma Eisenman said. Eisenman said the caller told police: "My boyfriend shot himself in the face." Jeni died at a nearby hospital. Eisenman said suicide had not been officially confirmed and the investigation was continuing. Did not see that one coming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2007 Don't give a shit. Suicide is for cowards. Well at least we have this out of the way, seems like we might need a couple more plus about two pages with a circular argument to get the "Suicide is for pussies" quota out of the way. The guy was pretty funny, but sadly enough this was the most visible he's been in the news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
