TMZ (http://www.tmz.com/2010/09/29/comedian-greg-giraldo-dies-overdose-prescription-pills/) is reporting that he passed away today, justs days after suffering a accidential overdose.

Greg had been hospitalized in New Brunswick, NJ after he overdosed on prescription pills last weekend. A source said the overdose was not a suicide attempt.

Giraldo was best known for his celebrity roast appearances.
He had also been a judge on "Last Comic Standing."

A source close to Greg tells us, "Greg passed away today
at the hospital in New Brunswick as a result of an accidental
overdose. His family was by his side."

Man this sucks, he was always IMO the best part of the roasts. :(

Good riddance! Don't fuck with drugs and you will avoid ending up chocking on your own vomit. Or do it but be VERY careful, "accidental" (you twat you killed yourself!) overdoses" are very common.

I personally liked his comedy but the guy looks liked shit. Everyone always talked about how he got screwed even though he was funny as hell. I think when you don't take care of yourself people are less likely to find interest in you.

*This doesn't surprise me one bit.
