New York-based comedian Patrice O’Neal died Monday after suffering a stroke in October that was related to his diabetic condition. He was 41.<\/p>\n

His death was confirmed via Twitter Tuesday<\/a> by host Opie (Gregg Hughes) of the Opie and Anthony<\/em> SiriusXM radio show, on which the stand-up comic was a regular guest. The message read: “Yes it’s true that our pal Patrice O’Neal has passed away. The funniest and best thinker i’ve ever known PERIOD. #devastated.”<\/p>\n

O’Neal, a 6′ 5″, 300-plus-lb. native of Boston, also appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien<\/em> and Late Show with David Letterman<\/em> and the sitcoms Arrested Development<\/em> and The Office<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In September, O’Neal, whose humor was often confrontational but funny, participated in the Comedy Central roast<\/a> of Charlie Sheen<\/a>, where other comedians made fun of his diabetes. It was his last performance. <\/p>\n

O’Neal, who launched his career in the late ’90s, started out by heckling comics and proving he could do better, according to his Comedy Central bio<\/a>. His idols were George Carlin<\/a> and Richard Pryor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TMZ.com<\/a> first reported his death. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
