Comedy legend Jerry Lewis has passed away at age 91, according to Fox News.
Lewis was an actor, comedian, singer, film producer, film director, screenwriter and humanitarian.
He is known for his slapstick humor in film, television, stage and radio.
In June, Lewis was admitted to a Las Vegas hospital after suffering from a simple urinary tract infection. TheCount.com had previously reported Lewis was “fighting for his life,” however that claim has proved false, until now.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends at this difficult times.
