Reggie McFadden Dies in Tanzania at 57

Reggie McFadden, the comedian who brought fire to Def Comedy Jam and a sharp edge to In Living Color’s final season, has died in Tanzania at 57. The news broke Monday, with his sister Bernice McFadden confirming the passing via the LA Times. No cause of death has been released. The US State Department notified the family, but details remain scarce—just like the last years of McFadden’s life.
