Comedian, Robert Schimmel, died early this morning from injuries sustained in a car wreck. His 19-year-old daughter was driving when she was swerved to avoid an oncoming car. Though she was also wounded, sources say she is stable and will be fine.
Schimmel was an amazing comedian, apparently known to many largely for his appearances on the Howard Stern Show (of which I was unaware). Robert Schimmel fought a long battle with cancer. He was 60.
Our hearts go out to his family, his friends, and especially his daughter.

Apparently, the car wreck occurred on August 26, but I -- and others to whom I've spoken -- are just now learning about any of this.
