Comedian and actor Alex Duong de@d at 42

Alex Duong, a comedian, writer and actor based in Los Angeles, has did at the age of 42. Duong was diagnosed with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma last year, a rare and aggressive cancer affecting soft tissue. He underwent surgery to remove a malignant growth that was blocking blood flow to his optic nerve and caused vision loss. Sadly, Duong was hospitalized with septic shock Friday night, March 27, and did Saturday,  March 28, at St. Johns Hospital in Santa Monica, California. With the heaviest hearts, we share that our dear Alex passed away peacefully this morning, surrounded by love and dear friends, a statement read. He was comfortable and thankfully out of pain. [His wife] Christina and [daughter] Everest were able to see him last night, and he was alert enough to say goodbye to his little girl, whom he has treasured every moment since the day she was born. We are devastated, but so grateful for the support, prayers, and generosity you have all shown during this unimaginable time. Your continued support now means everything as Christina and Everest navigate the days ahead and to arrange a beautiful celebration of his life. He is survived by his wife and daughter.The post Comedian and actor Alex Duong de@d at 42 appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
