2014 Celebrity Death: John Pinette Died April 5 At The Age Of 50


The comedian, who hosted All You Can Eat and had a memorable guest-starring role as the victim of a carjacking on Seinfeld, died April 5 at a hotel in Pittsburgh. He was 50. Pinette's personal doctor reported that the cause of death was liver and heart disease. The actor had also checked into rehab last August for addiction to prescription painkillers. Pinette was mostly known for his stand-up routines, but also had small roles in such films as Duets, Junior and The Punisher. In 1999, Pinette was named Stand-Up Comedian of the Year at the American Comedy Awards.
