The news was first reported on the Opie and Anthony radio show. A cause of death has not yet been released, but O’Neal was known to be in poor health, having suffered a stroke in October.
The stand-up comic got his start in his hometown of Boston, Massachusetts.

Sasha tweeted about the experience — calling the students the “sweetest” ever. Howeveer, not everyone saw it that way … some angry parents complained to the PTA — which then contacted the school’s principal … but there’s one problem.
A rep for the school district is flatly denying Sasha was ever inside one of its classrooms — telling TMZ, “We have several celebrities who read to our students each year. The actress you have indicated [Sasha] was not present.”
