"Police found the 45-year-old comedian alive but gravely injured in a West Hollywood home when they responded to a call Saturday morning from Jeni's girlfriend, Los Angeles Police Officer Norma Eisenman said. Eisenman said the caller told police: "My boyfriend shot himself in the face." Jeni died at a nearby hospital. "

its not suicide if he didnt die immediately


perhaps the will to die had left him as he lay suffering



































besides who the hell is he?

3/11/2007 4:24:48 PM

^He was in The Mask IIRC.

im shedding a tear, ok im not really

3/11/2007 7:48:46 PM

a lot of suicides get botched like this, people who really dont wanna die but really wanna pull that trigger tend to move the gun at the last split second and only blow half their head off.

Comics are generally very sad, tortured souls. Seems like they dispropriately die young either from ODing on drugs or suicide. I just saw his most recent HBO special a few weeks ago. Pretty funny guy. RIP.

I hope Lewis Black and Bill Maher stick around for awhile...

3/12/2007 8:05:18 AM

Bill Maher could go tonight for all I care

3/12/2007 10:07:38 AM

bill maher is a dick.

his show on hbo was pretty good despite him though.

3/12/2007 10:10:51 AM

Nah... Bill Maher is gr8. He's not afraid of the consequences for saying what he thinks.

3/12/2007 10:20:58 AM

3/12/2007 11:00:51 AM

^^ Bill Maher says shit for the reaction - it has nothing to do with saying what he thinks.

3/12/2007 12:17:51 PM

it would be soooooo shitty to shoot yourself and not get the job done right.

3/12/2007 12:38:23 PM

Sadly, 99% of the world doesn't know who this guy is. Myself included.

3/12/2007 12:39:18 PM

ive seen his stuff a few times

wont be expecting any new material however

3/12/2007 12:45:32 PM

he was pretty well known, if you heard his voice you would probably know who he is... especially if you have XM, he was on the comedy channel all the time on there

3/12/2007 1:16:24 PM

Holy fuck! Platypus man is dead!

3/12/2007 3:28:21 PM

He was in an absolutely HIGH-LAIR-EE-US show called Platypus Man

3/12/2007 3:32:10 PM

shouldn't the title of this thread be "Richard Jeni dies in apparent suicide" ? Saying he was "killed" implies something was done to him by someone else doesn't it? Just a question out of curiousity. Not trying to be an ass I swear

3/12/2007 6:48:01 PM

you kill yourself, you don't die yourself DURRRRRR

3/12/2007 7:00:36 PM

Learn something new everyday...

3/12/2007 7:04:59 PM

Oh Jeni, Jeni, Richard Jeni your comedy specials are great

3/12/2007 8:10:40 PM

3/12/2007 11:17:09 PM

3/14/2007 2:26:05 AM

I saw him live at Charlie Goodnights many many moons ago

3/14/2007 8:00:34 AM
