Stand-up comedian Reggie McFadden, known for appearing on “In Living Color” and “Def Comedy Jam,” has died at age 57. Multiple outlets report that his death is confirmed by his family.
Deadline and other coverage say his sister, Bernice McFadden, told The Hollywood Reporter about his passing. She also said the U.S. State Department notified the family that McFadden died in Tanzania, where he had been living for several years. Times of India specifies that he had spent the last 18 years in Tanzania. Forbes reports his death but does not provide additional details about the location or circumstances.
Across the reports, there is agreement on McFadden’s age and his association with the two comedy programs. Differences are primarily in the level of detail: some outlets include the method of notification and how long he lived in Tanzania, while others focus more on his career credits. None of the provided summaries identifies a cause of death.
