Richard Jeni, a standup comedian who played to sold-out crowds and was a regular on the “Tonight Show,” died from a gunshot wound in an apparent suicide, police said Sunday.
Police found Jeni alive but gravely injured in a home here after responding to a call Saturday morning from Jeni’s girlfriend reporting the comic had shot himself, Los Angeles Police Officer Norma Eisenman said.
He died after being rushed to a nearby hospital.
