Garry Shandling passed away at a Los Angeles hospital on Thursday, March 24 after suffering a massive heart attack. He was 66. His rep told Gossip Cop that Garry called 911 from his home, but he was already unconscious when the ambulance arrived.
The co-creator and the star of "The Larry Sanders Show" was still alive while being transported to hospital. He was pronounced dead at the medical center. Stars are mourning and paying tribute to the legendary comedian.
Garry's "Larry Sanders" co-star Bob Odenkirk said in a statement, "Garry was a guiding voice of comedy. He set the standard and we're all still trying to meet it. He gave us all opportunities to learn how to do the best work of our lives. But, more importantly, as I knew him these last few years, he was a person who never stopped trying to be a better person. That's yet another way he inspired me and I'm sure many others who knew him."
Among those mourning Garry on social media included Amy Schummer, Jimmy Kimmel, Ricky Gervais, Steve Martin, Seth Meyers, Judd Apatow, Kathy Griffin, Josh Groban, Margareth Cho, Seth MacFarlane, Andy Cohen, Howard Stern, Mandy Moore and Bob Saget.

Garry Shandling was a very special comedian with a beautifully unpredictable mind. He even voluntarily offered jokes and ideas for Oscars.
