A few days ago we reported that Greg Giraldo was in critical condition after accidentally overdosing on prescription drugs in his New Jersey hotel room. There was reportedly a “wild” party going on in the hotel around the time when friends discovered him.

Today, unfortunately we learn of Giraldo’s death at a New Brunswick hospital in New Jersey. Giraldo was known as a comedian on Comedy central, who would take part in the Comedy Central roasts. He was also a judge on NBC’s show, “Last Comic Standing”.

Many celebrities tweeted today about the death of Giraldo. Jim Norton, who was a very close friend tweeted “Greg Giraldo passed away today. This is the last photo of us together, taken June 28 at Noam’s wedding. RIP buddy.”

Greg Giraldo was only 44 years old.
