Farewell, Mr. Jeni

LOS ANGELES --
Richard Jeni, the well-known standup comic whose career spanned three decades, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, police said.
Jeni, 45, was found inside a Los Angeles home Sunday seriously injured, but still alive after police responded to the residence after receiving a call from Jeni’s girlfriend, who is a Los Angeles Police officer.
Norma Eisenman told police, “My boyfriend shot himself in the face,’ the LA Times reported.
Jeni, whose real name was Richard John Colangelo, died a short time later at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Jeni was constantly touring country with a stand-up act that had won him awards and entertained audiences since the late 1980’s. He had starred in several HBO comedy specials, most recently ‘A Big Steaming Pile of Me,’ which aired during the 2005-2006 season.
Another HBO special, Platypus Man, won a cable ACE awards for best comedy special.

Sometimes I just don't get it! Poor soul...may he finally have peace!
