News that Edward Joseph O'Donnell passed away came after Rosie O'Donnell's daughter, Chelsea, went missing.

AceShowbiz - Rosie O'Donnell is mourning the loss of her father. Edward Joseph O'Donnell, who worked as an electrical engineer in the defense industry, has passed away at the age of 81 years old after a battle with cancer. He is survived by the 53-year-old comedienne, her four other siblings, and his grandchildren.

Rosie didn't have a close relationship with her father growing up. "He had his own issues and demons, he had a very tough childhood, he had an alcoholic, abusive father and never really got the help that I think every person needs when they have lived through that as a child," she told Piers Morgan in 2012. "I think that he had a lot of problems to deal with."

The sad news broke out after Rosie's mentally ill daughter, Chelsea O'Donnell, went missing last week. The teenager was eventually found safe in New Jersey with an alleged drug addict she met on Tinder. The man named Steven M. Sheerer was arrested and charged in connection with Chelsea's disappearance.
