About an hour ago Jim Norton posted on Twitter that Greg Giraldo has died.
Here's the picture he posted with the tweet.
TMZ has offered confirmation of the claim, and several other comedians have posted either reactions or statements of the same sentiment. No one wants to be unnecessarily skeptical, and it's hard to direct emotions towards such a cold and unfeeling task as skepticism. All reports and outlets (including the Washington Post) are currently pointing to TMZ and twitter as the sources of the news. It would be nice to find that the sources are unreliable. But, sadly, it's looking like the news is accurate.
[Update]
Giraldo's own website has been simplified to include a link to his Facebook page, directing visitors there to leave "Notes of condolence."
Dylan Gadino at Punchline Magazine has received confirmation from Giraldo's management, The Collective, that the reports are accurate.
