Mitch Hedberg 1968-2005

HowardStern.com and Defamer.com have both reported the death of St. Paul-born comedian Mitch Hedberg. Defamer claims confirmation from several sources. Hedberg's website, MitchHedberg.net was last updated today, but no mention of his death appears on the site. Comedy Central has an obituary here. Hedberg had a sly, stoner delivery and some pretty cock-eyed material, like his bit on the koala infestation in his kitchen. You can check him out on two very funny CDs, Strategic Grill Locations (Dig) and Mitch All Together.

UPDATE: The Pioneer Press has posted a story by Matt Peiken on the death of Mitch Hedberg.

FURTHER UPDATE: The Star Tribune has posted a story by Colin Covert on the death of Mitch Hedberg.
