PHOENIX, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Comedian Robert Schimmel died in a Phoenix hospital from injuries suffered in automobile accident, his spokesman said. He was 60.
Schimmel was a passenger in his daughter's car when she lost control after swerving to avoid another accident on I-10 in Phoenix on Aug. 26.
The actor was best known for his appearances on the "Howard Stern Show" and appeared on several HBO programs, including his own special, "Unprotected," ABC News said Saturday.
Schimmel's daughter, Aliyah, 19, remains hospitalized, and his 11-year-old son was uninjured. Aliyah was expected to recover from her injuries, Schimmel's spokesman, Howard Bragman, said.
Schimmel had a heart attack in 1998 and in 2000 was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, from which he recovered. He later wrote a book about his treatment, calling it "Cancer on $5 a Day (chemo not included)."
Schimmel was arrested in 2009 after an altercation with his now ex-wife, the New York Daily News reported.
