American stand-up comedian and actor Ralphie May has unfortunately passed away at the age of 45.
“Earlier this morning at a private residence in Las Vegas his body was discovered, cause of death is cardiac arrest,” his rep confirmed on Friday.
May had reportedly been battling pneumonia and cancelled “a handful” of upcoming gigs to recover.
