Mitch Hedberg, 37 Years Old
Stand-up comedian Mitch Hedberg, known for his deadpan sense of humor, had a cult following of fans between the mid-1980s and early 2000s. His most notable works are "Strategic Grill Locations," "Mitch All together," and "Do You Believe in Gosh?" His fans were often too excited to let him finish jokes during his live sets that they'd shout out the punchlines before he could get to them. He struggled with drug use, which was a common theme in his sets - "I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too," was a common line. He died of a heroin overdoes in 2005.
