Comedian Gary Lising was found dead in his condominium on Friday. He was 78.
It was his only son, Bugsy, who found the comedian dead. He visited his father’s condominium because the actor was not answering calls and messages, according to Inquirer.net.
Gary’s brother, Pompeii, took to social media to announced the comedian’s demise
“I am sad to inform some terrible news. We lost our beloved Gary Lising, my eldest brother, today.
Gary, thank you for all the laughs and love, we will miss you deeply. But I know that your jokes will make God laugh. Rest in Peace my dear brother,” he wrote in a Facebook post.
Pompeii did not reveal the cause of Gary’s death, but Gary suffered cardiac arrest in 2009 and 2012. The actor also underwent angioplasty, according to PEP.ph.
Gary had a degree in Economics from Atene de Manila University. As a comedian, he was part of the famous television gag show “Champoy” in the ‘80s and movies “Run Barbi Run” and “Alyas Boy Tigas” in the ‘90s.
