RIP Robert Schimmel
Fuck, I'm just finding out Robert Schimmel died last week. I guess I totally missed the news over the Labor Day weekend. I didn't see a thread or post here about it, either. Brilliant comic. Really grew to appreciate him thanks to XM's Raw Dog. And the sad part is, I assumed he died from cancer, but no - it was a car accident.
Comedian Robert Schimmel dies after car accident (AP) – 5 days ago PHOENIX — Standup comic Robert Schimmel, a frequent guest on Howard Stern's radio show, has died after suffering serious injuries in a car accident. He was 60. Schimmel's spokesman, Howard Bragman, says Schimmel died Friday evening in a Phoenix hospital. Schimmel was a passenger Thursday in a car driven by his 19-year-old daughter Aliyah. Bragman says Aliyah Schimmel swerved to avoid another car and the vehicle she was driving rolled to the side of the freeway. Bragman says she is hospitalized in stable condition. Robert Schimmel lived in Scottsdale. The 60-year-old comedian has been a frequent guest on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and on Howard Stern's radio show. His 2008 memoir, "Cancer on $5 a Day," chronicles his battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Dude had a rough life, quite a shame. But yeah, the daughter oh my god. I can't even begin to imagine being 19 years old and driving when an accident that kills a family member occurs.
