In what seems to be a real story, comedian Mitch Hedberg has died. I can't find confirmation in a news story yet, but he was supposed to play the Improv in Baltimore tonight and they have a memorial picture up on their site right now. If you click to reserve tickets it just says, sadly "No show tonight."

(Thanks to Hillary's site and its commenter. Hope this isn't like stealing a story or anything.)

UPDATE: Here's the confirmation:

"Even family and close friends had a hard time understanding Mitch Hedberg, a St. Paul native who ran away from home and, despite living a scattershot life, became a runaway success as a standup comic.

Hedberg, whose space-case persona was as much part of his soul as it was his act, died early Wednesday morning in a New Jersey hotel room. He was 37. A medical examiner hasn't issued findings, but Hedberg's family is told he suffered a heart attack. His wife was with him."
