    Such a pity...amazing guy and a great stand-up

    Comedian Greg Giraldo is Dead

    Comedian Greg Giraldo died today at the age of 44 -- five days after he was hospitalized for an overdose.

    Greg had been hospitalized in New Brunswick, NJ after he overdosed on prescription pills last weekend. His rep said the overdose was not a suicide attempt.

    Giraldo was best known for his celebrity roast appearances. He had also been a judge on "Last Comic Standing.

    A source close to Greg tells us, "Greg passed away today at the hospital in New Brunswick as a result of an accidental overdose. His family was by his side."

    We're told plans are being made for a public memorial service.

    Was just watching the Bob Saget Comedy Central roast and paused it to look at a few pages online and saw this on twitter! Very funny guy, and so sad that he leaves behind a wife and kids.
