Comedian Ralphie May has died at 45, his representative, Stacey Pokluda, confirmed to USA TODAY.

His body was found Friday morning at a private residence in Las Vegas, where he had a residency at Harrah's Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.

Pokluda said May had performed there Thursday night after having had to cancel several dates to recover from pneumonia, which had plagued him for weeks.

While it is obviously sad to hear of someone so young dying, I still can't help but think that it is maybe a warning sign about the health risks associated with being morbidly obese.

I remember when he was on Last Comic Standing and his dad died, he came out and did his dad's favourite joke. Not a time you want to do stand-up, but it was awesome.

Advanced atherosclerosis was cited as a "significant contributing factor.

Anyway, Ralphie was awesome. One of my favourite bits from Ralphie.
