This stinks, Schimmel was hilarious.
Standup comic Robert Schimmel, 60, dies after car crash
September 4, 2010 | 7:34 am
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 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.

Founding member of ELO killed in freak accident as giant runaway hay bale smashes into his van
A founding member of ELO has been killed following a freak accident involving a giant bale of hay.
Mike Edwards, 62, who played cello for the band for three years, died when the giant bale weighing 50 stone crashed down on top of his van.
Mr Edwards died instantly in the accident after the bale careered down the hill, and flipped over a hedge.
The circular bale is believed to have been in a steeply sloping field beside the road when it somehow rolled and jumped 15ft into traffic.
Police say the accident happened at around 12.30pm on Friday on the A381 between Harbetonford and Halwell in Devon.
The victim was driving a white transit-type van towards Kinsgbridge when the bale of hay smashed into the front cab.
The van swerved after it was hit and then collided with another smaller van coming the other way - but the second driver was unhurt.
Inspector Andy Hamilton said: 'We are liaising with the health and safety people and gathering evidence from the scene of the accident and the field.
'The van came into contact with a very large bale of hay. We are investigating how this came to happen.'
He added that police had spoken to the farmer who owns the field and would be talking to him again shortly.
Mike was a founding member of Electric Light Orchestra and played cello with the group from their first live gig in 1972 until he left in January 1975.
He quit the band to become a Buddhist and later changed his name to Deva Pramada because of his religious convictions.
Mike's eccentric cello playing - including plucking the strings with an orange or grapefruit - and bizarre costumes were a major ingredient of ELO.
He played cello on albums ELO II, On the Third Day, The Night The Light Went On (In Long Beach) and Eldorado.
Steve Walker of the Devon and Cornwall police traffic unit said they were trying to contact his family.

He said: 'This was a tragic accident and we have now identified the victim as Michael Edwards, a founder member of ELO.
'We have used photographs and YouTube footage to identify him but we now need help contacting his family for formal identification.
'We don't believe he was ever married and we have identified an ex-girlfriend but she is currently abroad.'
He continued: 'We think he may have a brother called David in the Yorkshire area and we obviously need to contact him.
'Michael has no immediate family but we believe he may have taught some cello in Devon and would ask his students to contact us if they know of any relations.'

It was sad to read, just as the Knott's Halloween event was beginning, that Sandy Graham, a 19-year veteran of Knott’s Halloween Haunt, passed away August 29, 2010.
Sandy wore many hats. But most notably, she was the Vampire Queen in just about every vampire maze that's existed at Knotts Scary Farm.

Comedian Greg Giraldo died Wednesday (September 29) at age 44 from a reportedly accidental prescription-drug overdose. Giraldo had been hospitalized in New Brunswick, New Jersey after he overdosed on prescription pills last weekend. According to TMZ, the overdose was not a suicide attempt.
Giraldo reportedly collapsed Saturday evening in his hotel room in New Jersey, where he was performing at a club. He was discovered by friends after he failed to show up for his scheduled performance. He was rushed to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.
Jim Norton confirmed the news via Twitter, including a picture with his fellow comedian: "Greg Giraldo passed away today. This is the last photo of us together, taken June 28 at Noam's wedding. RIP buddy."
