Comedian Louie Anderson Dead at 68 After Cancer Battle

Hours before news broke of his passing, comedian and friend Pauly Shore tweeted that he was able to pay his respects to the star the night before.
 
“I say this with a heavy heart,” Shore wrote on Jan. 20. “Just left the hospital in Vegas where Louie Anderson, his sisters and close friend were kind enough to let me say my goodbyes.”

Anderson is survived by his two sisters, Lisa Anderson and Shanna Anderson.
