Mitch Hedberg, the acclaimed young comedian who passed away back at the end of March, had lived
with a heart problem his entire life. It was initially assumed that heart failure was the cause of his premature
passing. However, in a new article released by Spin Magazine, reports are now saying that Hedberg's death was caused by
multiple drug toxicity. In other words, he OD'ed. This comes as sad news as Mitch was a favorite of mine. He had a
handful of Comedy Central appearances, was on Letterman around nine or ten times I think. And according
to the article I'm referencing, TIME Magazine once called him "the next Seinfeld." That's quite the title to
carry with you, but I fully believe that he could have lived up to it.
