The cause of death was a heart attack, according to the Variety magazine website. Lewis, who starred in the HBO series “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (“Hold the Wave”, in the Brazilian translation), was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in April last year. “His wife, Joyce Lapinsky, thanks everyone for all their love, friendship and support, and asks for privacy at this time,” Jeff Abraham, the actor’s publicist, told Deadline. “Richard and I were born three days apart in the same hospital and for most of my life he was like a brother to me,” said series creator and protagonist Larry David in a statement. “He had that rare combination of being the funniest person and also the sweetest. But today he made me cry and I will never forgive him for that.” In 2021, the artist temporarily stepped away from recording “Curb Your Enthusiasm” to rest after undergoing three surgeries. He returned to the series the following season, which is currently airing on HBO Max. The comedian also appeared in the series “Anything But Love”, “Rude Awakening” and “Blunt Talk”, as well as stand up comedy specials such as “I’ m in Pain”, “I’m Exhausted” and “Richard Lewis: I’m Doomed”.
