Best known for his impersonations of President George W. Bush, Steve Bridges was found dead in his Los Angeles home on Saturday. He was 48 years old and had just returned from a comedic tour of China. Authorities say that his death appears to have been from natural causes, but an autopsy is still pending.
It seems we keep losing celebrities at a younger and younger age. I though t being rich and famous was healthy, I guess stress is getting to everyone these days. It is a sad loss. Here’s some reaction to his untimely passing from folks on Twitter:
